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
A vulnerability was found in LakshayD02 Hostel-Management-System-PHP up to f87e67c283bab6f718faf2fec6ae39a13bd7036b. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file hostel/index.php of the component Admin Dashboard Page. The manipulation of the argument ID results in missing authorization. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. This product does not use versioning. This is why information about affected and unaffected releases are unavailable. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

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

This is an IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference) vulnerability in the Hostel-Management-System-PHP admin dashboard (hostel/index.php). The application fails to validate user authorization when processing the ID parameter, allowing unauthenticated or unauthorized remote attackers to access administrative functions or data by manipulating the ID argument.

MitigationImplement proper server-side authorization checks to verify the authenticated user's permissions before allowing access to admin dashboard functionality. Validate that the requesting user has appropriate privileges for the requested resource ID.

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. Locate Hostel-Management-System-PHP installation
    Search for the hostel/index.php file in your web server directories, typically under /var/www/html, /www, or your document root
    Affected if The file hostel/index.php exists in your environment
  2. Verify the application handles an ID parameter
    Examine hostel/index.php and look for code that processes an 'id' GET or POST parameter, particularly in admin or dashboard functionality
    Affected if The code accepts an ID parameter without verifying user permissions first
  3. Check for session or authentication validation on the ID parameter
    Review hostel/index.php to determine if before processing actions based on the ID, the code verifies that the current user is authenticated and authorized (e.g., checking session variables, user roles, or permissions)
    Affected if No session check, role verification, or permission validation is performed before using the ID parameter in admin functions
  4. Test unauthorized ID manipulation
    If you have access to the application, attempt to access admin functions by manipulating the ID parameter value (e.g., changing ID=1 to ID=2) without authenticating or while logged in as a different user
    Affected if You can access or modify data belonging to other users or admin functions without proper authorization

Your environment is affected if hostel/index.php processes an ID parameter without verifying the user is authenticated and has permission to access that specific resource.
