What to do
AI-suggested
Until a fix is available, it is recommended to apply input validation and output encoding on the User Name parameter to prevent script injection. Restricting the characters allowed in user input and sanitizing stored data before rendering can reduce risk.
Description
A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was found in PHPGurukal Hospital Management System v4.0 in the /hospital/hms/edit-profile.php page. This flaw allows an authenticated attacker (patient) to inject a malicious script payload into the User Name parameter, which is stored in the application and later rendered in the doctor s interface.
