CVE-2023-6653Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Admin subject creation via forged cross-site request

Published Dec 10, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

CSRF in PHPGurukul Teacher Subject Allocation Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to create subjects via a crafted request. The /admin/subject.php handler accepts a cross-origin POST containing cid, sfname, ssname, and subcode without validating an anti-CSRF token. Exploitation requires an authenticated administrator's browser to submit the attacker's form, which adds a subject record under that session.
