CVE-2025-57145
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 cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the search-autootaxi.php endpoint of the ATSMS web application. The application fails to properly sanitize user input submitted through a form field, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript code. The malicious payload is stored in the backend and executed when a user or administrator accesses the affected report page. This allows attackers to exfiltrate session cookies, hijack user sessions, and perform unauthorized actions in the context of the victims browser.
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 confidenceThis is a stored (persistent) cross-site scripting vulnerability in the search-autootaxi.php endpoint of the ATSMS web application. User-supplied input from a form field is not sanitized before being stored in the backend database, and the malicious payload is executed when users or administrators view the affected report page, enabling session hijacking via cookie exfiltration.

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.
-
Confirm ATSMS installation and versionLocate the Auto Taxi Stand Management System installation directory and identify the version number, typically found in a README file, version config, or the main index page footer.Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.0 of Phpgurukul Auto Taxi Stand Management System.
-
Locate the vulnerable endpointCheck for the existence of search-autootaxi.php in the web application's root or scripts directory.Affected if The file search-autootaxi.php exists in the application.
-
Identify the report output pageExamine the application to find the page that displays results or reports from the search-autootaxi.php functionality (typically a report, list, or results page that retrieves stored search data).Affected if A report page exists that displays data submitted through search-autootaxi.php.
-
Check input handling in source codeInspect the search-autootaxi.php source code to determine if form input fields are sanitized or validated before being stored in the database.Affected if User-supplied input from the search form is stored in the database without sanitization or encoding.
-
Verify output encoding on report pageExamine the report page source code that displays stored data from search-autootaxi.php to see if output is encoded or if raw data is rendered.Affected if Stored data is rendered on the report page without proper HTML encoding, allowing script execution.
If Phpgurukul Auto Taxi Stand Management System version 1.0 is running with the search-autootaxi.php endpoint and the report page displays unsanitized user input, the environment is affected by this stored XSS vulnerability.

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 proper input validation and output encoding/sanitization on all user-supplied data in search-autootaxi.php before storage and before rendering on the report page.
