PHPgurukul Online Course Registration v3.1 lacks Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protections on administrative forms. Because state-changing admin requests are not bound to an unguessable per-session/per-request token (and are therefore not verifiably user-intended), an attacker can induce a logged-in administrator’s browser to submit crafted requests to the application, resulting in unauthorized administrative actions executed with the administrator’s authenticated session.

Repository is a small CSRF proof-of-concept for PHPgurukul “Online Course Registration” admin functionality. Structure: - README.md: points to the main write-up. - Missing_CSRF_protection_poc.md: detailed vulnerability description, affected endpoints, impact, and step-by-step reproduction with example malicious HTML. - payload.html: ready-to-use CSRF page that auto-submits a POST request to create a new course. Exploit capability: - Demonstrates missing CSRF protections on admin state-changing endpoints. By luring an authenticated admin to open a malicious HTML page, the attacker can force the browser to send authenticated requests. - Concrete actions shown: (1) create a course via POST to /onlinecourse/admin/course.php; (2) delete a student record via GET to /onlinecourse/admin/manage-students.php with del=delete&id=<regno>. The write-up also notes password update/reset via pass=update&id=X and suggests the issue is widespread across admin endpoints. No framework usage, no shell/reverse-shell payloads, and no automation beyond simple HTML/JS auto-submit; this is a documentation-driven PoC rather than a weaponized exploit.
