How the CVE Works
CVE-2025-25614 exploits an incorrect access control flaw in UnifiedTransform 2.0, allowing teachers to escalate privileges and modify personal data of other teachers. The vulnerability arises due to insufficient validation of user permissions when handling profile update requests. Attackers can bypass role-based checks by manipulating HTTP requests, leading to unauthorized data changes. The flaw exists in the `/api/teacher/update` endpoint, where the application fails to verify if the requesting user has the right to alter another teacher’s records.
