Unauthenticated employee-record modification via user-controlled identifier
Published Mar 18, 2024 · Updated Aug 12, 2024
Authorization bypass in SourceCodester Employee Task Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to modify employee records. The update-employee.php endpoint uses an attacker-controlled admin_id to select a record without enforcing authorization for that key. No authentication or user interaction is required, and the published record does not identify further reachable operations.
