Administrator action hijacking via crafted web page
Published Nov 24, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Cross-site request forgery in XML-Sitemaps Unlimited Sitemap Generator before 8.2 allows remote attackers to perform administrator actions. A malicious page causes the logged-in administrator's browser to submit an unintended request, but public sources do not identify the endpoint or missing request-validation control. Exploitation requires an administrator to remain authenticated and view attacker-controlled content; the resulting operation is otherwise unspecified.
