Description
PlaciPy is a placement management system designed for educational institutions. In version 1.0.0, the code evaluation endpoint does not validate the assessment lifecycle state before allowing execution. There is no check to ensure that the assessment has started, is not expired, or the submission window is currently open.
Published: 2026-02-09
Score: 5.3 Medium
EPSS: < 1% Very Low
KEV: No
Impact: Arbitrary code execution via unauthorized code evaluation
Action: Apply Patch
AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability occurs in PlaciPy’s code evaluation endpoint, which fails to enforce checks on the assessment lifecycle state. Users can invoke the endpoint regardless of whether an assessment has started, expired, or has an open submission window. This permissive behavior allows execution of arbitrary code on the server platform, constituting an authorization flaw that can compromise application integrity and confidentiality.

Affected Systems

The affected system is Praskla‑Technology’s placement management application, PlaciPy, version 1.0.0. No other vendors or product versions are listed as impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 signifies moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1 % indicates a low probability of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. It is most likely to be exploited remotely through the exposed code evaluation endpoint, provided an attacker can submit code payloads, but no persistent exploitation evidence currently exists.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Deploy the latest released patch for PlaciPy that adds lifecycle state validation to the code evaluation endpoint
  • Configure access controls so that only users with proven assessment ownership can invoke code evaluation
  • If an official patch is unavailable, temporarily disable the code evaluation endpoint until the vulnerability is remediated
  • Audit application logs for unauthorized code execution attempts and review user permissions
