Technical details

An Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability exists in openSIS Classic 9.3 within the messaging module. The flaw is located in 'modules/messaging/SentMail.php', where the application fails to perform adequate authorization checks when a user requests message details. By supplying an arbitrary 'mail_id' value in the request, any authenticated user with access to the messaging module can bypass intended access controls to view sent-message details and download attachments belonging to other users. A patch has been committed to the official repository to enforce proper authorization checks in 'SentMail.php' and 'DownloadWindow.php'.
