Article deletion via forged administrative GET request
Published Jan 19, 2022 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Cross-site request forgery in mblog 3.5.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete articles through an administrator's browser. The /admin/post/delete endpoint accepts a state-changing GET request with an article id and does not verify that the administrator intended the request. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to follow an attacker-controlled link; the documented consequence is deletion of the selected article.
