CVE-2026-124502: yungifez Skuul missing authorization in graduation reset

CVE-2026-124502 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-11-09

Skuul is a self-hosted school management system used by educational institutions to manage student records, graduations, and promotions. An authenticated non-admin user—such as a teacher—can reset a student's graduation status by exploiting a missing authorization check, effectively undoing an admin-only action. This allows any school staff member to manipulate student academic records without proper permission.

Technologies: Yungifez Skuul. Vendors: Yungifez.

Technical details

A broken access control vulnerability (CWE-862 / CWE-639) in the GraduationController::resetGraduation endpoint fails to invoke the existing GraduationPolicy::resetGraduation() authorization check. Any authenticated school member can call DELETE /dashboard/students/graduations/{student}/reset to reset a student's graduation status; the code only verifies the target is a student, not that the caller has the "reset graduation" permission (admin-only). A related PromotionController::resetPromotion endpoint also permits cross-school IDOR by not validating the target promotion belongs to the caller's school.
