|---|
| Description | The affected components are the bundled database schema `aca.zip!/aca.sql`, the login handlers, and dashboard views. The database stores passwords directly in `password` columns, login code compares those stored values to POSTed passwords, and dashboards render password values back into HTML:
```sql
`password` varchar(20) NOT NULL
('admin', '[email protected]', 'admin123');
```
```php
if($row['password'] == $_POST['password']){
$_SESSION['email'] = $row['email'];
}
<input type="password" id="btn1" value="<?php echo $row['password']?>" disabled>
```
Because passwords are recoverable database values and are displayed in dashboard HTML, any SQL injection, dashboard access, or IDOR issue can disclose reusable account credentials. The vulnerability affects admin, student, and teacher password handling. |
