CVE-2024-53258 Information

Description

Autolab is a course management service that enables auto-graded programming assignments. From Autolab versions v.3.0.0 onward students can download all assignments from another student as long as they are logged in using the download_all_submissions feature. This can allow for leakage of submissions to unauthorized users such as downloading submissions from other students in the class or even instructor test submissions given they know their user IDs. This issue has been patched in commit 1aa4c769 which is not yet in a release version but is expected to be included in version 3.0.3. Users are advised to either manually patch or to wait for version 3.0.3. As a workaround administrators can disable the feature.
