Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-6554 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Tecnick.com TCExam. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-6554/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-6554/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-6554","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-6554/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-6554","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gwgh-999f-h6wf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"configuration_change","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"TCExam online testing","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can access sensitive exam answers if the admin folder lacks external authorization, requiring configuration changes to secure the application.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"CERT-PL","cpe":[{"product":"tcexam","vendor":"tecnick"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"When access to the \"admin\" folder is not protected by some external authorization mechanisms e.g. Apache Basic Auth, it is possible for any user to download protected information like exam answers.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Missing authorisation in TCExam","id":"CVE-2023-6554","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Email Subscription Popup \u003c 1.2.20 - Reflected XSS","id":"CVE-2023-6555"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Backup Migration \u003c= 1.3.7 - Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2023-6553"},"products":["TCExam"],"published":"2024-01-11","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in TCExam","id":"CVE-2021-20114","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-29"},{"cvss_score":7.4,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in TCExam","id":"CVE-2020-5745","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-07"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4237","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-08-20"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-2153","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-06-03"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in TCExam","id":"CVE-2021-20115","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-05"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in TCExam","id":"CVE-2021-20116","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-05"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-06-20","vendors":["Tecnick.com"]},"summary":"Attackers can access sensitive exam answers if the admin folder lacks external authorization, requiring configuration changes to secure the application.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-6554/"}
