What is CVE-2026-30521?

A business logic vulnerability has been identified in SourceCodester Loan Management System v1.0, arising from inadequate server-side validation. Although the application’s frontend is designed to prevent users from entering negative numbers for setting interest rates, this validation is not effectively enforced on the server side. As a result, an authenticated attacker can exploit this flaw by manipulating HTTP POST requests to submit negative values for the interest_percentage. Consequently, this allows the creation of loan plans that carry negative interest rates, potentially causing severe financial discrepancies.
