Administrator account creation via unchecked Type parameter
Published Sep 22, 2024 · Updated Mar 31, 2025
Improper authorization in SourceCodester Online Eyewear Shop Website 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to create administrator accounts. The /classes/Users.php?f=save handler accepts the caller-controlled Type value 1 and stores the new user as an administrator without an authorization check. Any low-privileged account able to reach the user-creation handler can establish a new administrator account and sign in with it.
