Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
phpScheduleIt 1.0.0 RC1 does not clear administrative privileges if the administrator logs in as a normal user, which allows users with physical access to gain administrative privileges.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

phpScheduleIt 1.0.0 RC1 fails to clear administrative session privileges when an administrator authenticates as a regular user. The application retains elevated privileges in the user session, allowing privilege escalation to administrator-level access.

MitigationImplement proper session state management to clear all privileged attributes and role data upon user authentication, ensuring clean privilege state for each login regardless of previous sessions.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify phpScheduleIt installation version
    Locate the version information in the application (typically in version file, header comments, or admin panel about page)
    Affected if Version is Brickhost Phpscheduleit 1.0
  2. Verify session handling for privilege changes
    Log in as an administrator, then log out and log in as a regular user account. Inspect session data or cookies to see if any admin-related session variables persist
    Affected if Admin session tokens or privilege markers remain active after authenticating as a regular user
  3. Test for privilege escalation
    After logging in as a regular user following an admin session, attempt to access administrative functions or URLs that should require admin privileges
    Affected if Regular user account can perform administrator-level actions that should be restricted

User is affected if phpScheduleIt version is 1.0 and admin privileges persist in the session after authenticating as a non-administrative user, allowing unauthorized admin access.
