State-changing requests via missing CSRF token validation
Published Dec 21, 2022 · Updated Apr 14, 2025
Cross-site request forgery in Erik Dubbelboer's phpRedisAdmin 1.17.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to submit state-changing requests. The application's shared request bootstrap accepts POST requests without validating a session-bound token, and its edit, export, import, login, rename, and TTL forms omit such a token. Exploitation requires a victim to load attacker-controlled content while the browser can reach the interface; resulting actions are limited to those available through the victim's session.
