Unauthorized data deletion via unprotected GET route
Published Dec 25, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Cross-site request forgery in Archivy before 1.6.2 allows remote attackers to delete stored items through a victim's browser. The data-object deletion route accepts GET and DELETE requests and invokes data.delete_item without a CSRF token check, while the application lacks global CSRF protection. Exploitation requires an authenticated user to visit attacker-controlled content, allowing deletion of that user's stored notes or bookmarks.
