CVE-2026-108969: itsmeravitejak Online-Examination-System authentication bypass in session handler

CVE-2026-108969 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.3 · Published 2026-10-13

An online examination system contains a critical authentication flaw that allows any unauthenticated visitor to take over administrator or user accounts by forging session cookies. The application compares user-controlled cookie values using weak string comparison against hardcoded credentials, enabling attackers to impersonate any user without knowing passwords. This compromises the integrity of the entire examination system and allows unauthorized modification of exam results and user data.

Technical details

The vulnerability is an authentication bypass in include/session.php's Session::checkLogin() function, which uses loose equality (==) to compare user-supplied cookid and cookname cookie values against database user IDs. The default admin account has a hardcoded userid (d3f0b93bf63fefad081eb1f2cbb59d10) published in the repository, and new registrations default to userid '0', both easily forgeable. Attackers can remotely set arbitrary cookies to assume any account identity without authentication.
