Description
Book-Management-System's Flask API endpoints /student, /record, /books, /find_stu_book, and /find_not_return_book are missing the @login_required decorator that protects sibling routes (/search_student, /storage) in the same file. This allows any unauthenticated remote user to retrieve student PII (name, gender, card validity, debt status) and full book-borrowing history by supplying a card_id. Because card_id values are sequential integers, the entire student database can be enumerated without authentication.

AI Analysis

Impact

Book-Management-System exposes students’ personally identifiable information and their complete borrowing records through several Flask API endpoints that lack authentication. An attacker can simply provide a student card identifier to view name, gender, card validity, debt status, and all related book‑borrowing actions. Because the identifiers are predictable sequential integers, the entire student database can be enumerated without needing credentials. This vulnerability is a classic example of a missing authentication weakness (CWE‑306) that enables sensitive data exposure.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Book-Management-System from lyric777. Specific affected versions are not listed, but any deployment that includes the vulnerable Flask routes is potentially impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.5 signals a high‑severity risk, and the lack of an EPSS score suggests that the exploitation probability is currently unknown but cannot be dismissed. The vulnerability is not recorded in CISA KEV; however, the remote nature of the API and the full enumeration capability make it a serious threat that can be leveraged by unauthenticated users. Attackers can exploit this by issuing simple HTTP GET requests to the exposed endpoints and iterating over sequential identifiers to harvest sensitive data.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor’s latest release that includes authentication checks on the /student, /record, /books, /find_stu_book, and /find_not_return_book endpoints
  • If a patch is not yet available, modify the application's route handlers to enforce authentication by adding the @login_required decorator or equivalent access control logic
  • Restrict the public API so that these endpoints are no longer exposed to unauthenticated traffic; consider moving them behind a VPN or internal network boundary
  • Validate card identifiers and enforce rate limiting to prevent automated enumeration attempts
  • Conduct a security assessment to confirm that all sensitive data routes now require proper authentication before exposure
