Technical details

An improper privilege management vulnerability (CWE-269) exists in the registration endpoint of SourceCodester Online Examination & Learning Management System 1.0. The file `auth_process.php` accepts a `role` parameter directly from a POST request without server-side validation or restriction. While the `register.php` frontend only presents 'Student' and 'Instructor' options in a dropdown, an attacker can bypass the UI and submit a POST request with `role=super_admin`. This results in the creation of a new account with full administrative privileges. A public exploit (PoC) is available, and the vulnerability can be exploited remotely without prior authentication.
