3Description
PolarLearn is a free and open-source learning program. In 0-PRERELEASE-14 and earlier, setCustomPassword(userId, password) and deleteUser(userId) in the account-management module used an inverted admin check. Because of the inverted condition, authenticated non-admin users were allowed to execute both actions, while real admins were rejected. This is a direct privilege-escalation issue in the application.
Analysis
Privilege escalation in PolarLearn account-management module allows authenticated non-admin users to arbitrarily reset passwords and delete user accounts due to an inverted admin permission check in versions 0-PRERELEASE-14 and earlier. The inverted logic in setCustomPassword() and deleteUser() functions grants administrative capabilities to regular users while blocking legitimate administrators. …
