1.0.1
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in Campcodes Simple Student Information System versions 1.0 through 1.0. This flaw allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into the application, potentially compromising user data and session integrity. The vulnerability resides within the /admin/students/manageacademic.php file and is triggered by manipulating the studentid parameter. A patch is available in version 1.0.1.
Successful exploitation of CVE-2023-5930 allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the context of a user's browser session on the Simple Student Information System. This can lead to the theft of sensitive information, such as session cookies, login credentials, and personal data stored within the application. Attackers could also redirect users to malicious websites or deface the application's interface. The impact is amplified if the affected system is used to manage sensitive student records, as attackers could potentially modify or delete data.
This vulnerability has been publicly disclosed and a proof-of-concept may be available. While the CVSS score is LOW, the ease of exploitation and potential impact on sensitive student data warrant prompt attention. No active exploitation campaigns have been publicly reported as of the publication date, but the public disclosure increases the risk of opportunistic attacks. The vulnerability was reported to the vendor on an unknown date and publicly disclosed on 2023-11-02.
Educational institutions and organizations utilizing the Simple Student Information System for managing student data are at risk. Specifically, those running version 1.0 of the software are vulnerable. Shared hosting environments where multiple websites share the same server resources are also at increased risk, as a compromise of one website could potentially impact others.
• php: Examine the /admin/students/manageacademic.php file for unsanitized use of the studentid parameter. Search for instances where user input is directly outputted to the page without proper encoding.
// Example of vulnerable code
<?php
echo $_GET['student_id']; // Vulnerable to XSS
?>• generic web: Monitor access logs for unusual requests to /admin/students/manageacademic.php with suspicious parameters in the studentid field. Look for patterns indicative of XSS attempts (e.g., <script>, <iframe>).
• generic web: Check response headers for the presence of XSS payloads. Use tools like Burp Suite or OWASP ZAP to intercept and analyze HTTP traffic.

The primary mitigation for CVE-2023-5930 is to immediately upgrade to version 1.0.1 of the Simple Student Information System. If upgrading is not immediately feasible, consider implementing input validation and output encoding on the studentid parameter within the /admin/students/manageacademic.php file to sanitize user-supplied data. Web application firewalls (WAFs) configured to detect and block XSS payloads can also provide a temporary layer of protection. Regularly review and update the application's codebase to prevent future vulnerabilities.
Actualice a una versión parcheada del Simple Student Information System que solucione la vulnerabilidad XSS. Si no hay una versión disponible, revise y filtre las entradas del parámetro 'student_id' en el archivo manage_academic.php para evitar la inyección de código malicioso. Implemente validación y saneamiento de entradas en el código.
