The tittuvarghese CollegeManagementSystem is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the /dashboard_page/forms/fetch.php file. Specifically, the department_name argument can be manipulated to inject malicious script code, which may be executed in the context of the victim's browser. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication and requires user interaction. The product follows a rolling release model, so no discrete affected or patched versions are available. The vendor has been informed but has not provided a remediation or patch at this time.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of users visiting the affected web application. This may lead to session hijacking, defacement, or other client-side attacks. However, the vulnerability requires user interaction and does not grant direct system access or privilege escalation. The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3 reflects a medium impact level.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since the vendor has not responded or issued a fix, users should apply standard XSS mitigations such as input validation and output encoding on the department_name parameter if possible. Monitor vendor communications for updates and patches.
