CVE-2021-41083Network attack vector

Mailing-list control via missing CSRF validation

Published Sep 20, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

CSRF in Dada Mail before 11.16.0 allows remote attackers to control mailing-list and profile functions through a logged-in victim. List-control-panel and profile actions accept cross-site requests without validating an anti-CSRF token or constraining the session cookie. A victim must visit an attacker-crafted page while logged in, enabling mailing-list and root-password changes and full mailing-list control.
