Enviar #927252: SourceCodester College Notes Gallery Management System using PHP with Source Code 1.0 Missing Authorizationinformación

TítuloSourceCodester College Notes Gallery Management System using PHP with Source Code 1.0 Missing Authorization
DescripciónDuring the security review of "College Notes Gallery Management System V1.0", I found that the signup.php registration flow performs no server-side validation of the role field. Although the signup form only exposes Teacher and Student as visible choices, the backend reads $_POST['role'] directly and inserts it into the database. This allows an attacker to modify the request body and register an account with role=admin. After registration, the attacker can log in with the newly created account and access the administrator dashboard. This is a direct authorization bypass and privilege escalation issue.
