CVE-2026-9471: yashpokharna2555 StudentManagementSystem student.php cross site scripting

A vulnerability was detected in yashpokharna2555 StudentManagementSystem cb2f558ddf8d19396de0f92abf2d224d46a0a203. This impacts an unknown function of the file /student.php. Performing a manipulation of the argument FIRST_NAME results in cross site scripting. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used. Continious delivery with rolling releases is used by this product. Therefore, no version details of affected nor updated releases are available. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

Glexia's Take moderate

Analyst readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

This is a stored cross-site scripting issue in a student management web app. A user who can submit or change a FIRST_NAME value may trigger script execution when another user views the affected student page. Sources do not name a vendor fix, and the upstream issue reportedly has not been answered.

Executive priority

Treat as a moderate, internet-reachable application risk if this project is deployed. Prioritize confirmation and local remediation because public exploit information exists and the provided sources do not identify an upstream patch.

Technical view

CVE-2026-9471 affects yashpokharna2555 StudentManagementSystem at commit cb2f558ddf8d19396de0f92abf2d224d46a0a203. The reported sink is /student.php handling the FIRST_NAME argument. CVSS 4.0 is 5.1 with network access, low complexity, low privileges required, passive user interaction, and low integrity impact.

Likely exposure

Exposure appears limited to organizations running this specific open-source StudentManagementSystem project or derived deployments. Rolling release delivery means affected and fixed version ranges are not available in the sources.

Exploitation context

The source bundle says a public exploit exists and remote exploitation is possible. It is not in CISA KEV, and no provided source confirms active exploitation in the wild. Low privileges and a victim page view are required by the CVSS vector.

Researcher notes

The evidence supports stored XSS through FIRST_NAME in /student.php. CWE-79 is directly supported; CWE-94 is listed in the record, but the provided description does not establish code injection behavior beyond XSS. Versioning is incomplete because the project uses rolling releases.

Mitigation direction

  • Check the upstream repository and issue for vendor guidance or a fix before deploying.
  • Encode untrusted FIRST_NAME output in /student.php and sanitize stored profile fields.
  • Restrict access to student-management functions to trusted authenticated users only.
  • Review other student fields for the same stored XSS pattern.
  • Add regression tests covering encoded rendering of student names.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory deployments and compare code to commit cb2f558ddf8d19396de0f92abf2d224d46a0a203.
  • Inspect /student.php for unsafe rendering of FIRST_NAME.
  • Verify FIRST_NAME displays as text, not executable content, in staging.
  • Review recent student record changes for suspicious name values.
  • Track the GitHub issue and VulDB entry for updated remediation details.
