CVE-2023-26579Network attack vector

Unauthenticated staff-record deletion via DeleteStaff

Published Oct 25, 2023 · Updated Sep 11, 2024

Missing authentication in IDAttend IDWeb 3.1.052 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete staff information through DeleteStaff. The DeleteStaff method accepts a deletion request without authenticating the caller and removes the referenced staff record. Network access to the school intranet service is sufficient; the disclosed consequence is staff-data deletion, with no reported read access or service interruption.
