Official description

A flaw has been found in SourceCodester Onlne Examination & Learning Management System 1.0. The impacted element is an unknown function of the file register.php of the component Registration Endpoint. Executing a manipulation of the argument role can lead to improper privilege management. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. The name of the affected product appears to have a typo in it.

Source: the CVE record as published by its numbering authority, via NVD and CVE.org.

The underlying weakness: Incorrect Privilege Assignment

A product incorrectly assigns a privilege to a particular actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
  • Run your code using the lowest privileges that are required to accomplish the necessary tasks. If possible, create isolated accounts with limited privileges that are only used for a single task. That way, a successful attack will not immediately give the attacker access to the rest of the software or its environment. For example, database applications rarely need to run as the database administrator, especially in day-to-day operations.
