CVE-2024-13080
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA vulnerability was found in PHPGurukul Land Record System 1.0. It has been classified as problematic. This affects an unknown part of the file /admin/aboutus.php. The manipulation of the argument Page Description leads to cross site scripting. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceA stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in PHPGurukul Land Record System 1.0 within /admin/aboutus.php. The 'Page Description' parameter accepts unsanitized user input, allowing injection of malicious JavaScript that executes when the about page is rendered for other users.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if PHPGurukul Land Record System is installedLocate the application by checking for the presence of index.php and typical PHPGurukul directory structures (such as /admin, /includes) in the web rootAffected if The application files are found and the system appears to be the PHPGurukul Land Record System
-
Confirm the installed version is 1.0Search for version indicators such as a version.php file, a changelog, or strings within PHP files that indicate version 1.0Affected if The installed version is specifically 1.0
-
Verify the vulnerable file existsCheck for the presence of /admin/aboutus.php in the web directoryAffected if The file /admin/aboutus.php exists in the expected location
-
Check if admin interface is accessibleAttempt to access the admin login page (typically /admin/login.php) to confirm the admin panel is reachableAffected if The admin panel is accessible without authentication or with valid admin credentials
-
Inspect the aboutus.php for unsanitized input handlingExamine the source code of aboutus.php to see if the Page Description parameter is processed through htmlspecialchars or equivalent output encoding before displayAffected if The code does NOT perform output encoding/escaping on the Page Description parameter before rendering it in the browser
A user is affected if they have PHPGurukul Land Record System version 1.0 installed with the vulnerable aboutus.php file present and the Page Description field lacks output encoding in the code.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement input validation and output encoding/escaping on the Page Description parameter in aboutus.php to neutralize script injection attempts before storage and before display.
