Executive Summary

CVE-2026-1598 is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Bdtask Bhojon All-In-One Restaurant Management System, specifically in the User Information Module at /dashboard/home/profile. It occurs because the application does not properly sanitize or encode the 'fullname' input field, allowing an attacker to inject malicious JavaScript code that is stored and executed whenever the profile page is viewed by users. This can be exploited remotely and requires victim interaction to trigger the malicious script. [1, 2, 3]

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability can be detected by testing the 'fullname' parameter in the profile update page (/dashboard/home/profile) of the Bhojon All-In-One Restaurant Management System for stored cross-site scripting (XSS). A common detection method is to inject a simple XSS payload such as `<script>alert(1)</script>` into the fullname field and then observe if the script executes when the profile page is reloaded. There are no specific network commands provided, but manual testing or automated web vulnerability scanners targeting stored XSS on this parameter can be used. [2, 3]

Mitigation Strategies

Immediate mitigation steps include sanitizing and validating all user inputs, especially the 'fullname' parameter, to prevent malicious scripts from being stored. Implement output encoding or HTML-encoding when rendering user data to the profile page. Stripping or escaping script tags and other potentially dangerous HTML elements is recommended. Additionally, implementing a Content Security Policy (CSP) can help reduce the impact of XSS attacks. Since no official patch or vendor response is available, consider replacing the affected product with a secure alternative. [2, 1]
