Submit #727430: PHPGurukul PHPGurukul Small Customer Relationship Management v4.0 Missing Authorizationinfo

TitlePHPGurukul PHPGurukul Small Customer Relationship Management v4.0 Missing Authorization
DescriptionA critical vulnerability has been found in PHPGurukul Small CRM 4.0 application where the authorization mechanism fails to verify user roles before serving administrative content. The application only checks if a user is authenticated but does not verify their authorization level. Any authenticated user can access administrative functions by directly navigating to admin URLs (e.g., /crm/admin/home.php, /crm/admin/edit-user.php) without any role verification. This allows complete privilege escalation from regular user to administrator, enabling unauthorized access to sensitive data, user modification, and system compromise. An authenticated attacker with low-level user privileges can gain complete administrative access to the application, view and modify all user data, escalate privileges, and compromise the entire system.
