An Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability has been identified in Cyber-III Student-Management-System versions prior to 1a938fa61e9f735078e9b291d2e6215b4942af3f. The vulnerability resides in the file '/viva/update.php', within the HTTP POST Request Handler component. This issue allows unauthorized users to modify the 'name' field of users in the 'team_members' table without authentication. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely by sending a POST request with the target username and the new name value.
To address this vulnerability, implement proper authorization checks in the '/viva/update.php' file. Ensure that users can only modify their own records, and if cross-user modifications are necessary, restrict such actions to administrators.
