CVE-2023-0563 is a low-severity Cross-site Scripting (CWE-79) vulnerability in Phpgurukul Bank Locker Management System. Its CVSS base score is 3.5 (Low).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Protocol or Service Impersonation (T1001.003); ranked in the top 1% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in PHPGurukul Bank Locker Management System 1.0. This affects an unknown part of the file add-locker-form.php of the component Assign Locker. The manipulation of the argument ahname 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-219717 was assigned to this vulnerability.

An authenticated user with low privileges can supply a crafted ahname value when assigning a locker, causing the injected script to execute in the browser of another administrator who views the affected page. The attack requires user interaction by the victim and results only in limited integrity impact with no confidentiality or availability consequences. The associated EPSS score stands at 0.3270 with no material rise from an earlier lower value. Public references consist of a proof-of-concept disclosure and Vuldb entries that do not detail patches or mitigation steps.

Likely Mitigating Controls AI

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.

CA-8 Penetration Testing
addresses: CWE-79

Penetration testing submits XSS payloads to web applications, detecting cross-site scripting flaws for subsequent remediation.

SI-10 Information Input Validation
addresses: CWE-79

Validates web inputs to reject script-related content that could produce XSS.

SI-15 Information Output Filtering
addresses: CWE-79

Output validation against expected content can reject or sanitize script content in generated web pages, reducing XSS exploitability.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
blocks

Secure SDLC practices directly target introduction of XSS via coding standards/testing (mostly), yet the single broad outcome leaves many specific neutralization vectors unaddressed (partial).

PR.PS-02 partial match
blocks

Patching and EOL replacement can remediate known XSS instances in libraries or frameworks (partial) but do nothing to enforce input neutralization in application code (none).

A.5.6 only promotes membership in groups to improve knowledge, receive alerts, and share information; it performs no action that stops XSS exploitation (or even the underlying neutralization defect) and is a pure dependency for other controls per the owner's labeling rule.
