Exploitation Conditions

Requires a valid authenticated student account on the Skuul School Management System (version ≤ 2.6.5); with that account, the attacker invokes the ResultChecker::checkResult result-checking feature and alters the user-controlled studentId parameter to an arbitrary target. Limiting factors: exploitation is gated on holding legitimate student credentials (PR:L), so it is not fully unauthenticated; however, no victim interaction (UI:N) and no special or non-default configuration are needed - the flawed authorization check is in the standard results feature. Impact is bounded to reading other students' examination results/marks (confidentiality only).

Impact

This is a moderate, authorization-level data-exposure flaw (CWE-639, IDOR) rather than a top-priority emergency. The input CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N (6.5) is internally consistent with the description: network-reachable web endpoint, low complexity, and a low-privilege authenticated student account required (PR:L), with impact limited to confidentiality (C:H) and no integrity or availability effect. The exploitation signals argue AGAINST urgency: EPSS is only 0.16% (5th percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing (not actively exploited per available data), and the vuln.today Decision label is 'this_month' - a routine patch cadence, not act_now/emergency. The one escalating signal is a public PoC reference (dollarboysushil write-up), which lowers the barrier to opportunistic abuse by anyone with a student login. The C:H rating is arguably generous - the exposed data is scoped to other students' examination marks rather than full-system confidentiality - so the real-world severity may sit slightly below 6.5. Net: a genuine privacy/authorization bug worth remediating on a normal cycle, not a drop-everything issue.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A logged-in student browsing the results-checking feature intercepts or edits the request to ResultChecker::checkResult and substitutes a different studentId value, causing the application to return another student's examination marks without any authorization check. A public PoC reference exists (it is not verified as working exploit code), so the technique is documented and trivially repeatable by any authenticated student. No victim interaction, elevated privileges, or special tooling beyond a browser or proxy is required.

AnalysisAIv1 – Nov 03, 2026

Skuul School Management System through version 2.6.5 lets any holder of a valid student account read other students' examination results and marks, because the ResultChecker::checkResult method accepts a client-supplied studentId without confirming that the requested record belongs to the caller. The flaw is CWE-639 (authorization bypass through a user-controlled key), reachable over the network by a low-privileged authenticated user with no victim interaction, and scored CVSS 6.5 with confidentiality-only impact. Exploitation is gated on legitimate student credentials; no public exploit code is confirmed at time of analysis, EPSS is 0.16% (5th percentile), and the issue is not in CISA KEV, making this a moderate data-exposure risk rather than an emergency.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch or fixed version is identified at time of analysis: neither the CVE references (the project repository github.com/yungifez/skuul and the write-up github.com/dollarboysushil/cve) nor the EUVD record names a patched release, so the exact fix version cannot be cited and must be confirmed with the maintainer before relying on an upgrade. Updating is the only complete fix; until a patched build is available, the actionable compensation is code-level rather than configuration-level - modify ResultChecker::checkResult so the studentId is discarded and the identity is always derived from the authenticated session, or add an explicit ownership check that the requested result record belongs to the calling student before returning data. The trade-off is that custom edits to vendor code must be re-applied after every upstream update and can conflict with later releases. Where modification is not possible, restrict the result-checker endpoint to known networks or roles and log every access with the supplied studentId so cross-student lookups are detectable; both measures reduce exposure but leave the underlying authorization gap open and will break legitimate self-service result viewing for students outside the allowlisted scope. Reviewing existing database and web logs for a single account requesting a wide range of studentId values will indicate whether the flaw has already been used, given that exploitation produces no write operations and leaves only access-log evidence.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The root cause is CWE-639, Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key, the classic insecure-direct-object-reference pattern in which an application authorizes the action but not the object. In Skuul, the ResultChecker::checkResult method (the class/method notation indicates a PHP-style implementation) takes a studentId value from the request and uses it to look up examination results, but does not re-derive the identity from the authenticated session or verify that the record being fetched belongs to the logged-in student. Any authenticated student can therefore substitute an arbitrary studentId and receive another student's examination marks. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N confirms the attack surface: network-reachable, no special conditions or attacker-controlled timing dependencies stated in the available sources, requires a legitimate low-privileged account, requires no victim interaction, and is scoped to the vulnerable component with high confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability effect. The published CPE data (cpe:2.3:a:n/a:n/a) and the EUVD affected-version list do not resolve to a concrete vendor/product/version tuple, so version scoping rests on the reported 'through 2.6.5' range rather than on authoritative CPE matching.
