CVE-2024-8154
Rems
CVE-2024-8154: Cross-site scripting vulnerability in SourceCodester QR Code Bookmark System 1.0. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts or HTML via the tbl_bookmark_id, name, or url parameters in the /endpoint/update-bookmark.php file, affecting the Parameter Handler component. The exploit is publicly available, increasing the risk of exploitation.
Although the CVSS score is 5.4 (Medium), indicating a moderate risk, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 53, highlighting the importance of assessing beyond the CVSS metrics. The vulnerability stems from improper input validation, leading to cross-site scripting (XSS). Successful exploitation could allow attackers to steal user credentials, deface websites, or redirect users to malicious sites. The risk is magnified due to public exploit availability, making it easier for attackers to target vulnerable systems. Patching this vulnerability is recommended to prevent potential security breaches.
