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 · unedited
A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in CodeAstro House Rental Management System 1.0. This affects an unknown part of the component User Registration Page. The manipulation of the argument address with the input <img src="1" onerror="console.log(1)"> 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. The identifier VDB-254613 was assigned to this vulnerability.

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 confidence

Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in CodeAstro House Rental Management System 1.0's User Registration Page. The 'address' field fails to sanitize or encode user input, allowing injection of malicious JavaScript via HTML event handlers (e.g., img onerror). The attack is remotely exploitable and the payload executes when the address data is displayed.

MitigationImplement input validation and proper output encoding/escaping on the address field during both storage and display. Use context-appropriate encoding (HTML entity encoding for HTML contexts) or deploy a WAF as an interim control.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm CodeAstro House Rental Management System installation
    Look for PHP files or application directories named 'house rental', 'codeastro', or similar. Check for index.php or admin login pages typical of this system. Review web server document roots for the application.
    Affected if The CodeAstro House Rental Management System version 1.0 is installed on the server.
  2. Verify user registration functionality is enabled
    Locate the user registration page, typically found at /register.php, /registration.php, or similar paths under the application root. Access the registration URL to confirm the form is accessible.
    Affected if User registration page is publicly or internally accessible without authentication.
  3. Identify the address field in the registration form
    Examine the HTML source of the registration page. Look for an input field with name or label containing 'address'. Note the form action URL where user data is submitted.
    Affected if The registration form contains an 'address' input field that accepts user-supplied data.
  4. Inspect address field for output encoding
    Register a test account with a benign test string in the address field (e.g., '<script>test</script>'). After submission, view the address as displayed in user profiles, admin panels, or any page listing user addresses.
    Affected if The address field displays raw HTML or executes injected JavaScript (e.g., <img onerror=alert(1)>) when the submitted data is rendered in the browser.

If CodeAstro House Rental Management System 1.0 is installed and the address field in the user registration page renders HTML/JavaScript without encoding when displayed, the environment is affected by CVE-2024-1825.
