CVE-2024-46334 identifies a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Kashipara School Management System version 1.0. The vulnerability resides in the /adminLogin.php page, specifically within the formuser and formpassword parameters, which fail to properly sanitize user-supplied input. This lack of input validation allows an attacker to inject malicious JavaScript code that executes in the context of an administrator's browser session when they access a crafted URL or submit manipulated form data. The vulnerability is a classic reflected XSS type, where the injected script is reflected immediately in the HTTP response. Although no CVSS score has been assigned, the vulnerability can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions performed with admin privileges. Exploitation does not require prior authentication but does require the victim administrator to interact with the malicious input, typically via social engineering. There are no publicly available patches or official fixes at this time, and no known exploits have been reported in the wild. The vulnerability was reserved in September 2024 and published in November 2025. The lack of CWE classification and patch links suggests limited public information and vendor response so far. Given the critical role of school management systems in handling sensitive student and staff data, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to confidentiality and integrity of administrative functions.

For European organizations, particularly educational institutions using Kashipara School Management System or similar platforms, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to administrative accounts through session hijacking or credential theft. Attackers exploiting this XSS flaw could manipulate administrative sessions to alter sensitive data, disrupt school operations, or gain persistent access to the system. The impact extends to potential exposure of personal data of students and staff, violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. Additionally, compromised administrative control could facilitate further attacks within the network, including malware deployment or lateral movement. The reflected XSS nature means that phishing or social engineering campaigns targeting school administrators could be effective, increasing the risk profile. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently limits immediate risk, but the vulnerability remains a significant threat if weaponized. The impact on availability is limited but possible if attackers use the vulnerability to disrupt login processes or lock out administrators.

To mitigate CVE-2024-46334, organizations should implement strict input validation and output encoding on the formuser and formpassword parameters in /adminLogin.php to neutralize malicious scripts. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in the browser. Restrict access to the admin login page by IP whitelisting or VPN-only access to reduce exposure. Educate administrators on phishing risks and encourage cautious behavior when clicking links or submitting credentials. Monitor web server logs for suspicious input patterns indicative of XSS attempts. If possible, update or patch the Kashipara School Management System once a vendor fix is released. In the interim, consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block XSS payloads targeting the vulnerable parameters. Regularly audit and review user access controls and session management policies to limit the impact of any successful exploitation.
