CVE-2025-1607Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Salary-slip disclosure via user-controlled ID

Published Feb 24, 2025 · Updated Feb 24, 2025

Authorization bypass in SourceCodester Best Employee Management System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to read salary data. The salary_slip.php endpoint accepts a user-controlled POST id and returns the corresponding salary slip without enforcing record-level authorization. A valid low-privilege session is required, and the demonstrated consequence is cross-employee salary-slip disclosure rather than data modification.
