Persistent admin access after session removal
Published Apr 5, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Insufficient session expiration in SourceCodester Online Graduate Tracer System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to retain admin access. Administrative pages continue serving privileged functions after the browser cookies carrying the authenticated session are deleted, rather than requiring a valid session on each request. Exploitation requires an established administrator login and preserves access to administrative functions after the session material is removed.
