Administrator password overwrite via unvalidated cross-origin POST
Published Feb 15, 2023 · Updated Mar 20, 2025
Cross-site request forgery in baijiacms 4.1.4 allows remote attackers to change an administrator password via a crafted web page. The index.php manager actions accept cross-origin POST submissions to store and password-change routes without a CSRF token or equivalent request-origin validation. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to open the attacker's page and submit the form, after which store data or the administrator's login password is overwritten.
