Windows Boot Manager Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability
CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.6. CVSS Attack Vector: physical. CVSS Attack Complexity: low. CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
The following code could be for a medical records application. It displays a record to already authenticated users, confirming the user's authorization using a value stored in a cookie.
}}setcookie("role", $role, time()+60*60*2);die("\n");DisplayMedicalHistory($_POST['patient_ID']);die("You are not Authorized to view this record\n");The programmer expects that the cookie will only be set when getRole() succeeds. The programmer even diligently specifies a 2-hour expiration for the cookie. However, the attacker can easily set the "role" cookie to the value "Reader". As a result, the $role variable is "Reader", and getRole() is never invoked. The attacker has bypassed the authorization system.
