The "Test Name" parameter on the diagnostic/add-test.php page is vulnerable.
The Online Diagnostic Lab Management System has a security problem called Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in the Borrower section. This happens because the system doesn t clean user inputs properly, allowing harmful JavaScript code to be added. For example, if someone enters <script>alert(1)</script> in the "Test Name" field, the system stores this code. When the "Manage Test" section is revisited, the code runs and shows an alert message. This could allow attackers to steal information or take unauthorized actions in the user's browser.
- Open the Online Diagnostic Lab Management System on your computer.
- Log in to the application with the provided credentials.
- Go to the "Test" submenu and click on "Add Test."
- Fill in the "Test Name" field with the XSS payload which is "<script>alert(1)</script>".
- Once Submitted, Click on the "Manage Test", and you will see the JavaScript alert pop-up on the page.
