Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Simple Student Result plugin versions prior to 1.6.4

Description The issue allows for an authentication bypass because the fn ssr add st submit() and fn ssr del st submit() functions in functions.php only require knowledge of the student id number.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.6.4, update to version 1.6.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the functions fn ssr add st submit() and fn ssr del st submit() until the update is applied.
