Technical details

CafeManagement lacks any authentication or session management (no session_start(), no $_SESSION use); the AddCashierCode.php handler accepts POST parameters uname, pass, role, and status to insert arbitrary privileged accounts with no checks. The application also stores passwords in plaintext. An unauthenticated remote attacker can POST to /AddCashierCode.php with role=admin to create privileged accounts and access the entire admin panel including customer and payment data.
