Administrative access retention via undeleted PHP session
Published Mar 2, 2026 · Updated Mar 2, 2026
Insufficient session expiration in SourceCodester Web-based Pharmacy Product Management System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to retain access. Deleting an administrator account leaves its active PHPSESSID valid because authenticated requests do not revalidate the account's existence or status. Exploitation requires an existing administrator session and subsequent account deletion; the session holder retains administrative data and functionality until logout or expiration.
