The Royal Event Management System is a software solution designed for event planning and management. It is typically used by event planners and organizations to streamline the processes of organizing, scheduling, and executing various events. The software helps automate tasks such as registration, ticketing, and attendee management. It also provides features for handling logistics and vendor services. This system is particularly useful for both small-scale and large-scale events which require intricate arrangements and coordination. Beyond logistics, it often provides analytics to assess event performance and attendee engagement.
A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability is a type of security flaw found in web applications. This vulnerability occurs when an application allows users to input data, which is then included in responses sent to other users without proper validation or escaping. XSS enables attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages that can subsequently be executed in the browsers of unsuspecting visitors. The consequences of XSS can range from session hijacking, cookie theft, and defacement to more severe implications such as spreading malware and conducting phishing attacks. The impact largely depends on what the client-side scripts are programmed to accomplish.
The technical details of the vulnerability reside within the web form handling components of the Royal Event Management System. Specifically, the vulnerability is identified in the endpoint '/royal_event/companyprofile.php'. The application does not adequately sanitize user inputs for the 'companyname' parameter, resulting in stored cross-site scripting. The malicious script is injected through an HTTP POST request, and upon retrieval, it executes within the user's session context. The vulnerability allows scripts such as '<script>alert(document.domain)</script>' to be stored and executed, highlighting the lack of input validation and encoding.
Exploiting this vulnerability could allow attackers to perform unauthorized actions on behalf of legitimate users. They might steal sensitive data like session cookies, thus impersonating a user. Attackers could also defame the application by presenting distorted content, or they might deploy broader attacks using the compromised user's trust, such as redirecting them to malicious sites or collecting personal data without consent. The overall trustworthiness of the application is at risk, which can fundamentally affect user satisfaction and company reputation.
