Account modification via user-controlled ID
Published Apr 1, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024
Improper authorization in SourceCodester Computer Laboratory Management System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to modify other users' accounts. The save_users handler accepts a POST id without verifying authority over the referenced user and uses it to select the target account and avatar path. A valid session is required; the attacker can replace another user's profile data and avatar, including an administrator's.
