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.

A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in TCExam <= 14.8.4. The paths provided in the f, d, and dir parameters in tce_select_mediafile.php were not properly validated and could cause reflected XSS via the unsanitized output of the path supplied. An attacker could craft a malicious link which, if triggered by an administrator, could result in the attacker hijacking the victim's session or performing actions on their behalf.

A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in TCExam <= 14.8.3. The paths provided in the f, d, and dir parameters in tce_filemanager.php were not properly validated and could cause reflected XSS via the unsanitized output of the path supplied. An attacker could craft a malicious link which, if triggered by an administrator, could result in the attacker hijacking the victim's session or performing actions on their behalf.

When installed following the default/recommended settings, TCExam <= 14.8.1 allowed unauthenticated users to access the /cache/backup/ directory, which included sensitive database backup files.

A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in TCExam <= 14.8.1. Valid files uploaded via tce_filemanager.php with a filename beggining with a period will be rendered as text/html. An attacker with access to tce_filemanager.php could upload a malicious javascript payload which would be triggered when another user views the file.

An exposure of sensitive information vulnerability exists in TCExam <= 14.8.1. If a password reset request was made for an email address that was not registered with a user then we would be presented with an ‘unknown email’ error. If an email is given that is registered with a user then this error will not appear. A malicious actor could abuse this to enumerate the email addresses of

A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in TCExam <= 14.8.1. Valid files uploaded via tce_select_mediafile.php with a filename beggining with a period will be rendered as text/html. An attacker with access to tce_select_mediafile.php could upload a malicious javascript payload which would be triggered when another user views the file.

Insufficient output sanitization in TCExam 14.2.2 allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to conduct persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via the self-registration feature.
