Titelmanjurulhoque/django-job-portal dfa352f305bba44445ac5dc12e9b2a98c9dcd71f Improper Access Controls
BeschreibungAn authenticated user with the low-privilege employee role can escalate themselves to the privileged employer role by sending the role field in a request to their own profile-update endpoint. The endpoint is correctly authenticated and correctly scoped to the caller's own record — but the serializer it uses leaves role request-writable, and role is exactly the field the application's own authorization classes (IsEmployer / IsEmployee) read to make access decisions. A self-registered job seeker becomes an "employer" and gains employer-only capabilities: /api/employer/dashboard/, job creation (/api/employer/jobs/create/), and viewing/altering applicant data (/api/employer/applicants/..., UpdateApplicantStatusAPIView) — i.e. read access to other users' application data and write access to hiring state.
