Titelimvks786 student_management_system 1.0 Insufficient Authorization
BeschreibungThe application attempts to restrict certain actions (like adding and deleting students) by hiding UI buttons based on the user’s `Permission` level. However, the server‑side endpoints that perform these actions **do not enforce role‑based access control**. The `add.php` script only verifies that a user is logged in, without checking whether the user’s permission is `ADMIN`, `EDIT`, or `VIEW`. The `see.php` script executes the deletion **before** loading the user’s permission level, meaning any logged‑in user – including one with `VIEW` rights – can delete records. The default database setup includes a user with limited privileges: ```sql (2, 'admin1', 'admin', 'admin', 'VIEW', 'nick name', 'admin'); ``` Because the UI merely hides buttons, an attacker with VIEW access can directly craft POST requests to add.php or GET requests to see.php?del=... and perform privileged operations.
