Forced account sign-in via non-string CSRF token
Published Feb 18, 2020 · Updated Aug 6, 2024
CSRF in the Drupal Mozilla Persona module before 7.x-1.11 allows remote attackers to force a victim into an attacker-controlled account. The persona_xsrf_token function accepts a non-string security token as correct regardless of its value, bypassing the session-bound CSRF check. Exploitation requires user interaction and an account the attacker can already access; it changes the victim's active identity but grants no access to the victim's account.
