Student-to-administrator escalation via missing role checks
Published Jan 1, 2026 · Updated Jan 1, 2026
Missing authorization in PHPGurukul Online Course Registration 3.0 and 3.1 allows remote authenticated users to access admin functions. Student login creates an authenticated session without recording a role, while administrative pages serve privileged content without verifying administrator authorization. A student account is required; direct requests to admin URLs grant access to user data and administrative course, student, and registration operations.
