Unknown · Sourcecodester Local Service Search Engine Management System · CVE-2023-3005
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
SourceCodester Local Service Search Engine Management System version 1.0
**Description**
A problematic issue was found in the system, affecting the /admin/ajax.php?action=save area file, specifically the POST Parameter Handler component. The manipulation of the `area` argument with malicious input, such as `<script>alert(document.cookie)</script>`, leads to cross-site scripting. This issue can be exploited remotely.
**Recommendations**
For SourceCodester Local Service Search Engine Management System version 1.0, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the /admin/ajax.php?action=save area endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `area` parameter in the affected endpoint until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
