#Vulnerability Details:
#Application Name: Computer Laboratory Management System

#BuG: Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR) and Account Takeover
#BuG_Author: SoSPiro
#CVE: CVE-2024-3139

Vulnerable code section:

if(!empty($_FILES[‘img’][‘tmp_name’])){
if(!is_dir(base_app."uploads/avatars"))
mkdir(base_app."uploads/avatars");
$ext = pathinfo($_FILES[‘img’][‘name’], PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$fname = "uploads/avatars/$id.png"; // The $id value is directly used in the file path
// Rest of the code
}

Vulnerability Description:

This vulnerability exists in the section of code responsible for handling file uploads. The $id variable, obtained from user input ($_POST), is utilized directly in constructing the file path without appropriate validation or authorization checks, leading to both IDOR and account takeover vulnerabilities. This allows an attacker to manipulate the $id parameter to access and modify files of other users, including administrators.

Impact:

This vulnerability allows attackers to access and modify user data and profile pictures, leading to potential phishing, distribution of malicious content, and reputational damage. Additionally, unauthorized access to administrator accounts can occur, resulting in the compromise of sensitive information. This poses a significant risk to the security and usability of the application.
