Technical details

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in code-projects Employee Management System 1.0 within the /empproject.php file. The 'id' GET parameter is reflected into the HTML response (specifically within navigation link href attributes) without proper sanitization or HTML escaping. A remote attacker can exploit this by tricking a user into clicking a malicious URL containing a JavaScript payload. Successful exploitation allows for the execution of arbitrary script code in the context of the victim's browser session, potentially leading to session hijacking or account takeover. A public exploit (PoC) has been disclosed.
