Advisory Summary

CVE-2026-84432 is a MODERATE security vulnerability vulnerability (CWE-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)) affecting Software libraries in the Maven ecosystem. The weakness occurs when the web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor.. Remediation is available in the latest vendor maintenance releases.

How to Fix CVE-2026-84432

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Software dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2026-84432, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Software in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), where the web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor. In Software, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

Concrete CMS 9 through 9.5.2 did not validate an anti-CSRF token in the Boards custom slot dialog controller (concrete/controllers/dialog/board/custom_slot.php) saveTemplate() action. The action created a board_slot_proxy Block and dispatched an AddCustomSlotToBoardCommand against a board instance while gating only on the per-resource canEditBoardContents() permission, so a crafted cross-site request could cause a user holding board-edit permission with an active session to write attacker-chosen slot and template data to a board under their own authority. The state-changing database write completed before any downstream rendering, so the forged request succeeded even when the HTTP response returned a non-200 status. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v4.0 score of 5.3 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N.
