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
Incorrect Privilege Assignment vulnerability in Mojoomla School Management allows Privilege Escalation. This issue affects School Management: from n/a through 93.2.0.

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

An Incorrect Privilege Assignment vulnerability in Mojojula School Management allows authenticated users to escalate their privileges beyond what their role should permit, likely due to improper validation of user roles or authorization checks during sensitive operations.

MitigationApply the vendor patch (version 93.2.1 or later) to remediate the privilege assignment flaw. Until then, restrict administrative access to only trusted personnel and monitor for unauthorized privilege escalation attempts.

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 the installed version of Mojojala School Management
    Check the application footer, admin dashboard 'About' page, or version.php/config file in the installation directory for the version number
    Affected if The version cannot be determined or is within an unpatched version range
  2. Verify role-based access control is in use
    Access the user management or role management section of the admin panel and confirm multiple user roles exist (e.g., student, teacher, staff, admin)
    Affected if The application uses role-based access control and assigns different privilege levels to users
  3. Test for privilege escalation from a non-admin account
    Log in with a standard user account (non-admin role) and attempt to access administrative functions such as user management, system settings, or sensitive data pages directly via URL or navigation
    Affected if A non-admin authenticated user can access or modify administrative functions they should not have permission to access
  4. Review privilege assignment configuration
    Examine the application's database tables or configuration files related to user roles and permissions (often named like 'user_roles', 'permissions', or 'role_capabilities')
    Affected if Users are assigned privilege levels that differ from what their role should logically permit, or permission records show inconsistent role-to-privilege mappings
  5. Check for unauthorized admin access in logs
    Review application access logs or audit trails for instances where accounts with non-admin roles accessed administrative endpoints or performed administrative actions
    Affected if Logs show non-admin accounts performing administrative actions or accessing admin-only areas

The environment is affected if the installed version is unpatched AND authenticated users with non-administrator roles can access or execute administrative functions beyond their assigned privileges.
