Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in PlaciPy version 1.0.0, a placement management system for educational institutions. The issue is that the code evaluation endpoint does not verify the assessment lifecycle state before allowing code execution. Specifically, it does not check whether the assessment has started, whether it has expired, or if the submission window is currently open.

Impact Analysis

Because the system does not validate the assessment state before executing code, unauthorized or premature code execution could occur. This could lead to unfair assessment conditions, potential manipulation of assessment results, or execution of code outside intended timeframes, potentially compromising the integrity of the placement process.
