Description

A vulnerability was identified in code-projects Barangay Resident Profiling Management System 1.0. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /boarders.php of the component Boarder Management Module. Such manipulation of the argument ID leads to authorization bypass. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used.

  "executiveSummary": "An authorization bypass vulnerability has been identified within the Boarder Management Module of the code-projects Barangay Resident Profiling Management System 1.0. This security flaw specifically resides in the handling of input parameters processed by the file /boarders.php.\nThe vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass security controls and access unauthorized functionality or data by manipulating the argument ID. The exploitation of this flaw can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive system resources and data exposure within the affected deployment.\nThe risk implication is critical, as a publicly available exploit lowers the barrier to entry for potential threat actors, enabling remote exploitation without complex prerequisites.\nOrganizations utilizing this software are exposed to potential security breaches if proper access controls are not enforced on the backend.",
  "technicalDetails": "The vulnerability stems from improper authorization enforcement within the Boarder Management Module of code-projects Barangay Resident Profiling Management System 1.0. Specifically, the script located at /boarders.php fails to adequately validate whether the requesting user possesses the necessary privileges to access or modify resources associated with a specific argument ID supplied in the request.\nThe root cause is a failure in the access control mechanism, where the application relies solely on client-supplied identifiers rather than verifying session-based authorization status and ownership or administrative privileges on the server side.\nThe attack flow proceeds as follows: an attacker interacts with the web application and targets the /boarders.php endpoint. By supplying a manipulated argument ID via HTTP GET or POST parameters, the attacker can traverse or query records outside their authorized scope.\nBecause the application does not perform robust access checks, it processes the request and returns the requested data or executes the action associated with the manipulated ID. This results in an authorization bypass, allowing horizontal or vertical privilege escalation depending on the targeted record.\nThe attack vector is network-based, meaning the exploit can be executed remotely over the network without requiring prior physical access. The vulnerability affects version 1.0 of the product.\nPost-exploitation impact includes the potential exposure of sensitive resident profiling data, unauthorized data manipulation, and potential compromise of the integrity and confidentiality of the Boarder Management Module."
