Critical


Details:
========
An auth bypass vulnerability is detected in the FAA AFS Evaluation Application 
System. The bug is located in a vulnerable 
login form which allows an remote attacker to bypass the application 
unauthorized. Successful exploitation can result in 
dbms & academy website compromise via injection.
