Unauthenticated code execution via CSRF cookie template injection
Published Jun 4, 2026 · Updated Jun 4, 2026
Server-side template injection in Simcy Creative PDF Signer 3.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through a crafted cookie. The application renders the CSRF-TOKEN cookie as a template without neutralizing template expressions, causing embedded PHP functions such as shell_exec() to run. No authentication or user interaction is required; commands run with web-server process privileges, and their output appears in the response.
