Impact
A security issue in the student_management_system project allows attackers to manipulate the del argument in the /see.php endpoint, resulting in improper authorization. This flaw lets a remote user trigger deletion of records without proper authentication or validation. The impact is the loss of data integrity. The weakness is identified as improper authorization and credential management (CWE-266, CWE-285).
Affected Systems
The affected product is the imvks786 Student Management System, version up to the commit 9599b560ad3c3b83e75d328b76bedcd489ef1f46. No version updates are available, and the project uses a rolling release model. The vulnerability exists in the Student Deletion Endpoint implemented in see.php.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score is 5.3, indicating moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV. Attackers can exploit the issue remotely by sending specially crafted HTTP requests that include the del parameter. Because no official fix has been released, the risk remains, especially for deployments with unrestricted access to the deletion endpoint.
