Unauthenticated admin account modification via missing session check
Published Jun 8, 2026 · Updated Jun 8, 2026
Improper authorization in Kushan2k Student Management System allows remote attackers to modify administrator profiles. The edit-admin branch in controllers/AdminController.php accepts attacker-supplied adminid, email, and password values and invokes update routines without validating an administrator session. Unauthenticated requests can replace any administrator's email or password, enabling account takeover or lockout.
