Code-Projects Human Resource Integrated System 10, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), CVE-2025-8501 (Medium)

Listen to this Post

How the CVE Works

The vulnerability in Code-Projects Human Resource Integrated System 1.0 resides in the `/insert-and-view/action.php` file, where improper input sanitization of the `content` parameter allows attackers to inject malicious JavaScript. This leads to stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), where the payload executes when an admin or user views the manipulated content. The attack is remotely exploitable with low privileges, requiring only user-level interaction. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P) confirms network-based exploitation with low attack complexity.
