Published
E-mail alert when it lands in KEV, gets a public PoC or its score goes up.
No sign of exploitation. No public exploitation artifact known so far.
The CyberTutor New Site Server relies on authentication checks only in the browser, not on the server. Attackers can bypass this by modifying the website code to gain admin access without valid credentials.
CWE-603 Use of Client-Side Authentication vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to manipulate frontend authentication logic (via browser developer tools or proxy interception) to escalate privileges to administrator level. The server lacks server-side authentication validation, enabling privilege escalation without credential compromise.
