Technical details

An Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) / Broken Access Control vulnerability exists in the boarder management module (/boarders.php) where user-controlled ID parameters in GET and POST requests are processed without object-level authorization checks. The application verifies only that a user is logged in via check_login() but does not validate whether the requesting user is authorized to access or modify the specific boarder record. Attackers authenticated as any non-administrative user can craft requests with sequential numeric IDs to read, update (archive/restore), or permanently delete arbitrary resident records. State-changing operations are exposed via GET requests without CSRF protection or password confirmation. The vulnerability is unauthenticated-optional but requires valid session cookies; no public patch is currently available.
