Technical details

The vulnerability is a cross-site request forgery in user/delCourse.php, which processes course deletion via GET requests authenticated solely by session cookies, with no CSRF token, Origin/Referer validation, or user confirmation. An attacker can forge a request to withdraw an authenticated student from an ungraded course by directing them to a malicious site. The state-changing operation is reachable remotely over the network with no additional preconditions beyond the student being logged in.
