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 Opensolutions/vimbadmin, 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

Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in the addAction and purgeAction functions in ViMbAdmin 3.0.15 allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of logged administrators to 1. add an administrator user via a crafted POST request to `<vimbadmin directory>/application/controllers/DomainController.php`, 2. remove an administrator user via a crafted GET request to `<vimbadmin directory>/application/controllers/DomainController.php`, 3. change an administrator password via a crafted POST request to `<vimbadmin directory>/application/controllers/DomainController.php`, 4. add a mailbox via a crafted POST request to `<vimbadmin directory>/application/controllers/MailboxController.php`, 5. delete a mailbox via a crafted POST request to `<vimbadmin directory>/application/controllers/MailboxController.php`, 6. archive a mailbox address via a crafted GET request to `<vimbadmin directory>/application/controllers/ArchiveController.php`, 7. add an alias address via a crafted POST request to `<vimbadmin directory>/application/controllers/AliasController.php`, or 8. remove an alias address via a crafted GET request to `<vimbadmin directory>/application/controllers/AliasController.php`.
