Executive brief
A vulnerability exists in the PHPGurukul Student Result Management System, a web application used for managing academic records. The software fails to properly clear or refresh user sessions during sensitive actions like password changes. This flaw could allow an attacker to take over a user's account, potentially leading to unauthorized access to student data and administrative functions.
Technical details
A session management vulnerability exists in the 'Change Password' component (/elms/emp-changepassword.php) of PHPGurukul Student Result Management System v2.0. The application fails to properly invalidate or rotate session identifiers upon authentication or sensitive state changes. An attacker can exploit this by fixing a known session ID in a victim's browser; once the victim authenticates, the attacker retains access to the active session. This allows for unauthorized remote access and account takeover, including the ability to change the victim's password.
