By manipulating the session tokens, an attacker could potentially hijack a user&#8217;s session. This could grant the attacker unauthorized access to the system under the guise of a legitimate user, leading to unauthorized data access or even system compromise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"ameeb-1359270833\" class=\"ameeb-content ameeb-entity-placement\"><div class=\"poptin-embedded\" data-id=\"f6b387694f681\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\n<p>Consider the following conceptual HTTP request that an attacker might use:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">GET \/srms\/change-password.php?session_id=VULNERABLE_SESSION_ID HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.edu<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>In this example, the attacker is attempting to access the change-password.php page using a session ID that they have either guessed, stolen, or otherwise obtained illicitly. If the session invalidation is not handled correctly, this could allow the attacker to hijack the session associated with that ID, effectively impersonating the legitimate user.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview CVE-2025-50489 is a critical security vulnerability in PHPGurukul Student Result Management System v2.0.
