Technical details

A broken access control vulnerability exists in the /admin/change-password.php component (also referenced as /doctor/change-password.php in some documentation) of PHPGurukul Car Washing Management System v1.0. The root cause is improper session invalidation and handling, which allows for session fixation or hijacking. An attacker can set or capture a session ID and, once a legitimate user authenticates, use that session to gain unauthorized remote access to the victim's account. This enables the attacker to perform administrative actions, such as changing the account password, without valid credentials.
