## Technical details

The Student-Management-System suffers from an improper authentication vulnerability (CWE-287) within its administrative backend. The root cause is located in 'admin/config.php', where the 'session_start()' function call is commented out, preventing the initialization of PHP sessions. Because sessions are not started, subsequent checks for authentication variables in 'admin/dashboard.php' and other administrative pages fail to validate the user's state. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by directly navigating to administrative URLs, gaining full access to CRUD operations for students, courses, and departments. As of the advisory date, the vendor has not responded to the issue report.
