| Title | Rizwan17 inventory-management-system bfe78a330d01bb26b9daec5dc9ecd5c77900e03f Improper Authorization |
|---|
| Description | The affected components are `register.php` (client form), `includes/process.php` (registration handler), and `includes/user.php` (`createUserAccount`). The registration form exposes a free-choice `usertype` select including `Admin`, and the server stores the submitted value without restriction:
```php
// process.php
$result = $user->createUserAccount($_POST["username"],$_POST["email"],$_POST["password1"],$_POST["usertype"]);
```
```php
// user.php
$pre_stmt = $this->con->prepare("INSERT INTO `user`(`username`, `email`, `password`, `usertype`, ...)
VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?)");
$pre_stmt->bind_param("sssssss",$username,$email,$pass_hash,$usertype,$date,$date,$notes);
```
Any unauthenticated visitor can create an Admin account and then log in. |
