Test if unauthorized access to admin functions is possible via adminlogin.php without proper credentialsCheck Version:
Check application version in admin panel or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that proper authentication is required for all admin functions and test privilege escalation attempts📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Multiple failed login attempts followed by successful admin access
- Admin login from unusual IP addresses or user agents
- Access to admin functions without preceding successful authentication
