# Frappe LMS: students can forge passing quiz results and certificates

Frappe Learning Management System before 2.54.0 does not check quiz submissions on the server, so a logged-in student can record a passing or perfect quiz score without answering. A student can also file quiz attempts under another user's account, using up that user's attempts.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed Frappe LMS version in the app's `package.json` or via the bench app list; versions below `2.54.0` are affected.
- Confirm whether the site lets students take quizzes and issues certificates on completion.

## Fix

- Frappe LMS: upgrade to `2.54.0` or later.

## Timeline

## From the sources

Frappe Learning Management System (LMS) is a learning system that helps users structure their content. Prior to version 2.54.0, quiz submission records are not adequately authorized on the server. Through a `REST` bypass, an authenticated student can record a passing or perfect quiz result without their answers being verified, unlocking course completion and certificates. The student can also create a submission attributed to another user, exhausting that user's allowed attempts and blocking legitimate submissions. These integrity and availability issues are scoped to quiz results; they do not expose other users' data or grant elevated roles. This issue is fixed in version 2.54.0.
