Fixes #206
Description
Critical Security Patch: Fixed an authorization vulnerability in
controllers/examController.js. Previously,GET /api/exams/:idlacked an ownership check, allowing any authenticated teacher to view thecorrectAnswerkeys for exams created by other teachers. An authorization layer has been added to ensure that only the original authoring teacher or a system administrator can access the unfiltered exam document containing the sensitive answer keys.Type of Change
