Unauthenticated student-record manipulation via missing controller authorization
Published May 26, 2026 · Updated May 26, 2026
Broken access control in hemant6488 CodeIgniter Student Management System allows remote attackers to read and alter student records. The Students.php controller performs no authentication or authorization checks before serving list, add, edit, and delete routes. All three cataloged commits are affected; anonymous network access is sufficient to disclose student data and create, modify, or delete records.
