- Monitor access logs for unauthorized requests to /getTeacherList endpoint
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test if /getTeacherList endpoint returns data without proper authentication by making an unauthenticated HTTP request to the endpoint.Check Version:
Check application version in configuration files or about page if available.Verify Fix Applied:
Verify that unauthenticated requests to /getTeacherList return proper authorization errors (401/403) instead of data.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unauthenticated requests to /getTeacherList returning 200 OK status
- Multiple failed authentication attempts followed by successful /getTeacherList access
Network Indicators:
- Unusual traffic patterns to /getTeacherList endpoint
- Requests to /getTeacherList without authentication headers or cookies
