CVE-2026-114248 in Insurance-Management-System
Summary
by MITRE • 10/21/2026
A security vulnerability has been detected in dhikshitha29 Insurance-Management-System 91de5edda5baa109ad8e9baf03ce6a3ceda84183/125362cc21dca20d74091a4913a5096bb58dd837. This affects an unknown part of the file /Admin/includes/AddNewPlan-inc.php of the component Plan Management Form. The manipulation of the argument submit/Plan_no/Name leads to missing authentication. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. This product is using a rolling release to provide continious delivery. Therefore, no version details for affected nor updated releases are available. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

Analysis

The identified vulnerability resides within the dhikshitha29 Insurance-Management-System, specifically targeting the Plan Management Form component located in the file Admin/includes/AddNewPlan-inc.php. This flaw represents a critical failure in access control mechanisms, classified under CWE-862 as Missing Authorization or CWE-287 as Improper Authentication depending on the specific implementation details of how authentication is bypassed. The core technical issue stems from insufficient validation and enforcement of security policies when processing user-supplied input arguments such as submit, Plan_no, and Name. Instead of verifying that the requesting entity possesses valid administrative credentials before executing sensitive operations related to plan creation or modification, the application proceeds with the action based solely on the presence of these parameters. This architectural oversight allows any remote actor to manipulate HTTP requests to trigger privileged functions without providing legitimate session tokens or authentication headers.
From an operational perspective, this vulnerability enables a Remote Code Execution risk vector by allowing unauthorized users to inject malicious data into the system's database through the Plan Management interface. An attacker can exploit this flaw remotely over standard network protocols such as HTTP or HTTPS, requiring no prior access credentials. The ability to manipulate plan details without authentication means that an adversary could create fraudulent insurance plans, alter existing policy terms, or potentially introduce SQL injection payloads if input sanitization is also lacking in the backend processing logic. This compromises the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive customer data stored within the system, including personal identification information and financial records associated with each plan entry.
The impact extends beyond immediate unauthorized access to include potential long-term systemic compromise due to the rolling release model employed by this project. Because there are no discrete version numbers for affected or patched releases, tracking the presence of a fix is difficult for administrators relying on traditional patch management systems. The lack of response from the project maintainers despite early disclosure via an issue report exacerbates the risk landscape, leaving users exposed indefinitely unless they manually audit and modify their source code. This situation aligns with ATT&CK technique T1078 Valid Accounts if attackers leverage stolen credentials to further exploit this gap, or more accurately T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application when considering the remote nature of the attack against a web-facing service.
Mitigation strategies must focus on immediate code-level remediation since automated updates are not viable in this rolling release context. Developers should implement strict server-side validation that verifies user session validity and role-based access control before processing any requests to AddNewPlan-inc.php. Input sanitization for all arguments including submit, Plan_no, and Name is essential to prevent secondary injection attacks such as SQLi or Cross-Site Scripting which often accompany authentication bypasses. Additionally, implementing rate limiting and logging mechanisms can help detect anomalous activity patterns indicative of exploitation attempts. Until the upstream project addresses this security gap, system administrators should restrict network access to administrative interfaces using firewall rules or reverse proxy configurations that enforce additional layers of authentication outside the application logic itself.
