AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability resides in the delete_exam.php component of SourceCodester Syllabus‑Aligned Learning Management & Examination System 1.0, where the ID parameter can be manipulated to bypass authorization controls. By altering the ID argument, an attacker can delete examinations that they should not have permission to remove, compromising the integrity of the system’s data. This breach can affect any user who is authenticated to the application, and in principle can be exploited by remote actors with network access to the web application.

Affected Systems

SourceCodester Syllabus‑Aligned Learning Management & Examination System version 1.0 is impacted. No other product versions are listed as affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates a moderate severity for this IDOR flaw. Although an EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, the attack vector is remote because the flaw can be triggered over a network by sending a crafted request to delete_exam.php. The public disclosure of the exploit suggests that an attacker could leverage the faulty authorization logic to delete exams without proper privileges.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Check the Sourcecodester product website or contact the vendor for a patched version that addresses the delete_exam.php authorization check.
  • Restrict access to delete_exam.php to only users with explicit delete privileges and ensure the server enforces proper role‑based access controls before performing the delete operation.
  • Validate and sanitize the ID parameter on the server side to confirm it matches an exam owned by the requesting user.
  • Monitor application logs for unauthorized delete attempts and investigate any anomalies.
  • Apply any available runtime security controls, such as WAF rules, that block suspicious ID manipulation patterns.
