| Description | The `edit_attendance.php` script, which allows viewing and modifying attendance records, lacks any form of authentication or authorisation. It does not call `session_start()` and never checks for a valid login session (e.g., `$_SESSION['username']`). The file simply includes the database connection and then processes requests based on `$_GET['id']`.
Key code snippet:
```php
<?php include 'db.php'; ?>
...
if (isset($_GET['id'])) {
// displays existing attendance data
...
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST' && isset($_GET['id'])) {
// updates attendance
}
}
