What is CVE-2025-63611?

The phpgurukul Hostel Management System v2.1 suffers from a Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability that occurs when user-submitted complaint fields are stored without proper escaping. Specifically, the input from the complaint submissions via /register-complaint.php is not sanitized and gets rendered in the admin interface at /admin/complaint-details.php?cid=. This flaw allows an attacker to inject malicious HTML or JavaScript, which executes in the administrator's browser when the complaint details are viewed, potentially compromising sensitive data or enabling unauthorized actions.
