Impact
The SourceCodester Ship Ferry Ticket Reservation System 1.0 contains a flaw in an admin‑related function that allows an attacker to modify the page argument, bypassing normal authorization checks. This improper authorization can grant an unauthenticated user administrative privileges, enabling unauthorized data manipulation or system control. The weakness reflects improper privilege management as defined by CWE‑266 and CWE‑285.
Affected Systems
The vulnerable component resides in the admin module of SourceCodester Ship Ferry Ticket Reservation System version 1.0. Users running this specific release are affected; subsequent releases may have addressed the issue but that is not confirmed.
Risk and Exploitability
Remote exploitation is possible over a public network. The CVSS score of 5.3 denotes moderate severity, while EPSS data is unavailable and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Nevertheless, the absence of proper authorization safeguards enables an attacker who reaches the impacted page to assume elevated privileges, potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the reservation data and backend services.
