Arbitrary file inclusion via traversable page parameter
Published Dec 22, 2023 · Updated Apr 17, 2025
Path traversal in Simple Student Attendance System 1.0 allows remote attackers to include arbitrary server-side files. The root page handler uses the GET page parameter in a PHP file-inclusion operation without canonicalization or an allowlist, so ../ sequences escape the intended directory. Primary features require no login; command execution additionally requires attacker-controlled PHP content already reachable on the server.
