Executive Summary

This vulnerability involves the Student Management System storing passwords in cleartext within the database and displaying them in HTML dashboard fields without hashing or encryption. Passwords are compared directly during login without using secure hashing functions.

Detection Guidance

Check the application's database for plaintext passwords in the aca.sql file or related tables. Inspect HTML dashboard fields for password values displayed without hashing. Review login logic to confirm passwords are compared directly without secure hashing functions like password_hash() or password_verify().

Commands: Use SQL queries to search for password columns in the database. Inspect web application source code for password handling logic. Check network traffic for exposed credentials during login or dashboard access.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with access to the database, dashboard, or through an IDOR exploit could retrieve plaintext passwords and reuse them to impersonate users across systems. This could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability likely violates GDPR and HIPAA requirements for protecting sensitive personal and health information. Storing passwords in cleartext and exposing them in dashboards fails to meet data security and confidentiality standards.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the application to a patched version if available. Implement strong password hashing using functions like password_hash() and password_verify(). Restrict database and dashboard access to authorized personnel only.

Rotate all exposed passwords and enforce password resets for affected users. Monitor for unauthorized access or suspicious activity. Consider isolating the system until mitigation is complete.
