Technical details

The vulnerability is an authorization bypass in /admin/session.php where manipulation of the ID parameter bypasses access controls. The flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to access admin functionality remotely without proper session validation or permission checks. Reference materials indicate SQL injection also exists in /modal_add_room1.php via the room_name parameter, suggesting broader input validation issues across the application. No patch has been publicly released; administrators should upgrade from version 1.0 or implement strict input validation and authentication controls.
