This issue was discovered on FirstBlood v3

Hi there

I found it is possible for a unauthenticated user to edit a doctors profile via a api call to /api/managedoctors.php

To reproduce :

  1. Visit firstbloodhackers.com/api/managedoctors.php and intercept the request
  2. Change the request to a PUT request
  3. Add the following JSON to the data and forward the request
    {"name": "Edited",
    "bio":"More editing here",
    "tagline":"Even more editing here",
    "drId":"1"
    }

As you can see the doctors information has been changed
