PatchTheCVECVE-2026-71241: Book-Management-System's Flask API endpoints /student, /record, /books, /find_stu_book, and /find_not_return_b
CVE-2026-71241 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.5) affecting affected software. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
Book-Management-System's Flask API endpoints /student, /record, /books, /find_stu_book, and /find_not_return_book are missing the @login_required decorator that protects sibling routes (/search_student, /storage) in the same file. Because card_id values are sequential integers, the entire student database can be enumerated without authentication.
Why this priority
- High severity
- Remotely exploitable, no login, no user action
A fixed release or distro patch exists.
