Unauthenticated administrator creation via unchecked type field
Published Jul 5, 2026 · Updated Jul 5, 2026
Improper authorization in SourceCodester Multi-Vendor Online Groceries Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to create administrator accounts. The network-accessible classes/Users.php save_users function accepts unauthenticated POST data, dynamically builds a users INSERT, and permits the supplied type value to set administrator privilege. A single crafted request with type=1 grants administrative access to application management functions without an existing account or session.
