DescriptionGitHub Advisory

PolarLearn is a free and open-source learning program. In 0-PRERELEASE-15 and earlier, POST /api/v1/auth/sign-in creates a valid session for banned accounts before verifying the supplied password. That session is then accepted across authenticated /api routes, enabling account data access and authenticated actions as the banned user.

AnalysisAI

Authentication bypass in PolarLearn ≤0-PRERELEASE-15 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to gain authenticated session access as banned users without password verification. The flaw enables complete account takeover and unauthorized data access through a session generation vulnerability in the /api/v1/auth/sign-in endpoint. …
