CVE-2026-86214Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authentication bypass via manipulated email parameter

Published Sep 6, 2026 · Updated Sep 8, 2026

Improper authentication in Mstfakts College Management System allows remote attackers to bypass login through the email parameter. Front-end/login.php handles the attacker-controlled email value, but the CNA and referenced public report do not disclose the faulty operation or accepted input. No credentials or user interaction are required; successful exploitation grants unauthorized application access, while the reachable account functions remain undisclosed.
