Confidentiality: Low
Integrity: Low
Availability: Low

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Local: The vulnerable component is not bound to the network stack and the attacker’s path is via read/write/execute capabilities. Either: the attacker exploits the vulnerability by accessing the target system locally (e.g., keyboard, console), or remotely (e.g., SSH); or the attacker relies on User Interaction by another person to perform actions required to exploit the vulnerability (e.g., tricking a legitimate user into opening a malicious document).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the impacted component are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 23 Sep 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations should implement strict input validation and output encoding on the pname parameter in add_product.php and edit_product.php to prevent injection of malicious scripts. Employing context-aware escaping functions for HTML, JavaScript, and URL contexts is critical. Web application firewalls (WAFs) can provide temporary protection by filtering malicious payloads targeting these endpoints. Developers should review the source code to identify and sanitize all user inputs rigorously. Additionally, adopting Content Security Policy (CSP) headers can reduce the impact of any successful XSS exploitation by restricting script execution sources. Since no official patches are available yet, organizations should consider isolating or restricting access to the affected application modules and monitor logs for suspicious activities. Regular security assessments and user awareness training can further reduce risk. Finally, contacting the vendor or monitoring for official patches and applying them promptly once released is essential.

Description

PHPGurukul Dairy Farm Shop Management System v1.1 is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via the pname parameter in add_product.php and edit_product.php.

Impact

The impact of this XSS vulnerability on organizations using PHPGurukul Dairy Farm Shop Management System can be significant. Attackers could execute arbitrary scripts in the context of authenticated users, leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions within the application. This can compromise the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive business data, including product and customer information. Additionally, attackers could deface the web interface or redirect users to malicious websites, damaging the organization's reputation and trustworthiness. Although the vulnerability requires local access (likely meaning the attacker must have some form of access to the system or network), the absence of required privileges or user interaction lowers the barrier for exploitation in some environments. The availability impact is rated low to medium, as XSS typically does not directly cause denial of service but can be part of multi-stage attacks. Overall, the vulnerability poses a moderate risk that could escalate if combined with other weaknesses or social engineering tactics.

Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Implementation · Architecture and Design
Understand the context in which your data will be used and the encoding that will be expected. This is especially important when transmitting data between different components, or when generating outputs that can contain multiple encodings at the same time, such as web pages or multi-part mail messages.
Architecture and Design · Implementation · Attack Surface Reduction
Understand all the potential areas where untrusted inputs can enter your software: parameters or arguments, cookies, anything read from the network, environment variables, reverse DNS lookups, query results, request headers, URL components, e-mail, files, filenames, databases, and any external systems that provide…
