## 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.
