CVE-2024-48920 – PutongOJ: unprivileged users can escalate privileges by constructing requests

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-48920

PutongOJ is online judging software. Prior to version 2.1.0-beta.1, unprivileged users can escalate privileges by constructing requests. This can lead to unauthorized access, enabling users to perform admin-level operations, potentially compromising sensitive data and system integrity. This problem has been fixed in v2.1.0.beta.1. As a workaround, one may apply the patch from commit `211dfe9` manually. • https://github.com/acm309/PutongOJ/commit/211dfe9ebf1c6618ce5396b0338de4f9b580715e#diff-782628b47d666d5d551e040815ca3f80c0704397258718f0e0f31164608ea7beL118-R120 https://github.com/acm309/PutongOJ/releases/tag/v2.1.0-beta.1 https://github.com/acm309/PutongOJ/security/advisories/GHSA-gj6h-73c5-xw6f • CWE-306: Missing Authentication for Critical Function •
