MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires a reachable deployment of dhikshitha29 Insurance-Management-System exposing /Admin/includes/Admin-Register-inc.php (the Add New Admin Form). Per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), exploitation is remote, unauthenticated, requires no user interaction, and works against the default application flow by tampering with the submit/Admin_id/password request arguments. The principal limiting factor is exposure, not configuration: the component must be network-accessible, and impact is limited to partial confidentiality/integrity/availability (unauthorized admin registration) rather than full takeover. No version-based scoping is possible due to the undisclosed rolling-release model. |
| Impact | This is a genuinely medium/low real-world risk despite being remotely exploitable. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw, but the impact metrics are deliberately modest (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L, no subsequent-system impact), yielding a 5.5 medium base score. The strongest aggravating signal is the publicly available exploit (E:P / POC=YES), which lowers the barrier to opportunistic abuse. However, there is NO CISA KEV listing and NO EPSS score provided in the input, so there is no evidence of active, widespread exploitation - exploitation is proof-of-concept only. The dominant mitigating factor is the target: dhikshitha29 Insurance-Management-System is an obscure individual GitHub project with no meaningful production footprint, so aggregate exposure is very small regardless of how easy the exploit is. No SSVC decision data was supplied. Net: treat as a low-priority medium - the public exploit warrants attention for any organization actually running this specific project, but it is not a broad fleet threat. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted POST request to /Admin/includes/Admin-Register-inc.php manipulating the submit, Admin_id, and password parameters to bypass authorization on the Add New Admin Form and register a new administrator account. A public proof-of-concept exists (linked from the project's GitHub issue tracker), so the request can be reproduced directly. Because CVSS impact is only partial (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L), the attacker gains limited unauthorized admin-registration capability rather than full system compromise. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026
Improper authorization in dhikshitha29 Insurance Management System lets remote, unauthenticated attackers create a new administrator account by manipulating the submit, Admin_id, and password parameters sent to /Admin/includes/Admin-Register-inc.php. The project uses a rolling-release model, so no fixed or affected version can be scoped; publicly available exploit code exists and the vendor has not responded to the report. With a CVSS score of 5.5 (medium), impact is limited to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability rather than full system compromise.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; the project was notified via https://github.com/dhikshitha29/Insurance-Management-System/issues/4 but has not responded. Until a fix is issued, remove or disable the Add New Admin Form handler (/Admin/includes/Admin-Register-inc.php) in production and provision admin accounts manually through direct database operations or a trusted CLI, accepting the operational overhead. If remote admin creation is required, enforce server-side session and role checks before processing submit/Admin_id/password, add CSRF protection, and restrict the endpoint to a VPN or IP allowlist-IP allowlisting will break access for distributed or mobile administrators. Deploy WAF rules to block unauthenticated POSTs to /Admin/includes/Admin-Register-inc.php, but treat this as defense in depth because WAF bypasses are possible; audit existing admin accounts for unauthorized additions and rotate credentials.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The target is a PHP-based insurance management web application tracked by CPE cpe:2.3:a:dhikshitha29:insurance-management-system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, with the vulnerable component being the Add New Admin Form handler at /Admin/includes/Admin-Register-inc.php. CWE-285 (Improper Authorization) describes the root cause: the registration routine processes the submit/Admin_id/password arguments without confirming that the caller is an authenticated administrator, so a remote user can cause the application to persist a privileged admin record. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/E:P) and the independent CVSS 3.1 assessment (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) agree that exploitation is network-reachable, unauthenticated, and requires no user interaction, with impact confined to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Publicly available exploit code exists; no CISA KEV entry is present, so active exploitation is not confirmed. The rolling-release delivery model means there is no version-based scoping, and the project has not issued a patched release.

Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file /Admin/includes/Admin-Register-inc.php of the component Add New Admin Form. Executing a manipulation of the argument submit/Admin_id/password can lead to improper authorization. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. This product utilizes a rolling release system for continuous delivery, and as such, version information for affected or updated releases is not disclosed. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
