Technical details

The admin/admin.php page and five data endpoints (qsdb.php, usersdb.php, brandb.php, topicsdb.php, subjectsdb.php) in the admin directory lack session validation and the isAdmin() authentication check. An attacker can send a network request to these endpoints and retrieve JSON responses containing exam questions with answers (q_ans field) and user information including email addresses. No credentials or user interaction are required.
