| Description | Broken Function Level Authorization (BFLA) allows unauthorized users to alter student grades
Summary
An API endpoint in i-Educar 2.9.0 is vulnerable to Broken Function Level Authorization (BFLA). An unauthorized user is able to modify student grades by directly accessing the /module/Api/Diario endpoint, bypassing permission controls. This leads to severe integrity issues, where anyone with access to the API format can tamper with academic records.
Details
The endpoint /module/Api/Diario does not enforce proper authorization checks to validate whether the calling user has the right to alter student grades. Even a user without any profile or assigned permissions can successfully submit a request and change the grades of students in the system.
There is no validation of session roles or associated permissions before executing sensitive academic actions.
PoC
1 - Create a new user with no privileges.
2 - Prepare a request to the /module/Api/Diario endpoint with the data to submit a student grade, using the low privillege user cookie then send the request.
