This insurance management system built with PHP and MySQL is used to store and manage policyholder information.

Technical details

The UpdatePolicyHolder-inc.php endpoint processes policy holder updates via POST but performs no session validation or ownership check, making it vulnerable to insecure direct object reference (IDOR). An attacker can craft a POST request with any Policy_no and field values to overwrite personal data of any policyholder. The fix requires adding session verification and validating that the policy belongs to the authenticated user's agency.
