Technical details

A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability exists in SourceCodester CET Automated Grading System with AI Predictive Analytics 1.0 due to missing anti-CSRF protections. The application fails to validate authenticated POST requests on sensitive endpoints, specifically /index.php?action=manage_subjects and /index.php?action=add_grade. A remote attacker can exploit this by tricking an authenticated user into visiting a malicious webpage that automatically submits hidden forms to the vulnerable application. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to create unauthorized subjects or manipulate student grading data. A public proof-of-concept (PoC) has been released.
