Password modification via forged password-change requests
Published Jun 21, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Cross-site request forgery in White Shark System 1.3.2 allows remote attackers to change user passwords through a crafted web page. The user_edit_password.php handler accepts attacker-supplied password and account ID fields in a POST request without validating an anti-CSRF token. An authenticated administrator must open the attacker-controlled page; the resulting request resets the account selected by the hidden ID field.
