High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
PHPAuction (affected versions not specified)
Description:
The issue allows remote attackers to gain privileges by making a direct call to "login.php" with the
action parameter set to "insert". This action adds the provided username to the adminUsers table.Recommendations:
For PHPAuction, to mitigate this issue, consider restricting access to the "login.php" endpoint, specifically when the
action parameter is set to "insert", until a proper fix is implemented. As a temporary workaround, disabling the ability to add users to the adminUsers table via the "login.php" endpoint can help minimize the risk of exploitation.Exploit
