A vulnerability was detected in Tutorials-Website Employee Management System up to 611887d8f8375271ce8abc704507d46340837a60. Impacted is an unknown function of the file /admin/all-applied-leave.php of the component HTTP Request Handler. The manipulation results in improper authorization. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit is now public and may be used. This product utilizes a rolling release system for continuous delivery, and as such, version information for affected or updated releases is not disclosed.

Technical summary

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

This is an Improper Authorization (IDOR/Broken Access Control) vulnerability in the Tutorials-Website Employee Management System's admin leave management functionality. The /admin/all-applied-leave.php endpoint lacks proper authorization checks, allowing remote attackers to access or manipulate leave data without proper authentication or privilege validation.

MitigationImplement role-based access control (RBAC) and proper session validation on all admin endpoints, specifically adding authorization checks to verify the requesting user has appropriate privileges before processing leave data.

Am I affected?

dbcve checks

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

Identify the application

Locate and examine the application's source code or deployment directory. Look for files indicating this is the Tutorials-Website Employee Management System, such as README files, license files, or version files in the root directory.

Affected if The application installed is the Tutorials-Website Employee Management System
Verify the vulnerable endpoint exists

Check for the presence of the file /admin/all-applied-leave.php in the web root or admin directory of the deployed application.

Affected if The file /admin/all-applied-leave.php exists in the deployment
Test unauthorized access to the leave management endpoint

Attempt to access the /admin/all-applied-leave.php endpoint directly via HTTP request without providing valid authentication credentials or a valid session cookie.

Affected if The endpoint returns leave data or allows access without requiring valid authentication or authorization
Verify authorization controls on admin leave functionality

Inspect the source code of /admin/all-applied-leave.php and look for session validation, role checks, or privilege verification before processing or displaying leave data.

Affected if The code lacks proper session validation, role checks, or privilege verification for the requesting user
Check if admin endpoints share consistent authorization

Compare the authorization implementation in /admin/all-applied-leave.php against other admin PHP files in the same application to see if this endpoint lacks controls that other admin pages have.

Affected if Other admin pages have authorization checks but /admin/all-applied-leave.php does not include them

A user is affected if they have deployed the Tutorials-Website Employee Management System and the /admin/all-applied-leave.php endpoint is accessible without proper authentication or authorization validation.

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.

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.

CVSS breakdown How the score is builtThe industry scoring standard. It rates how the flaw is reached, what it takes to exploit, and what an attacker gains — the score is derived from those, not the other way round.

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.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
