Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Sourcecodester Online Grading System version 1.0

Description The issue is related to a lack of CSRF protection, which could allow an attacker to trick the administrator into executing arbitrary code via a crafted HTML page. This can be demonstrated by a Create User action at the "admin/modules/user/controller.php?action=add" API endpoint, where an attacker could potentially exploit this to execute unwanted actions.

Recommendations For Sourcecodester Online Grading System version 1.0, consider implementing CSRF protection mechanisms to prevent attackers from tricking administrators into executing arbitrary code. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the "admin/modules/user/controller.php?action=add" API endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation.
