Unauthorized state changes via missing CSRF protections
Published Sep 7, 2026 · Updated Sep 7, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in SourceCodester Syllabus-Aligned Learning Management & Examination System 1.0 allows remote attackers to delete data. Every state-changing PHP handler omits anti-CSRF tokens, SameSite cookie protection, and Origin or Referer validation; deletion endpoints also mutate data through GET. Exploitation requires a logged-in victim to load attacker-controlled content, allowing actions under that victim's role, including exam deletion, enrollment changes, account creation, and attendance purging.
