CVE-2022-0238Network attack vector

Administrative state changes via missing request tokens

Published Jan 16, 2022 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Cross-site request forgery in Phoromatic before 10.8.0 allows remote attackers to alter benchmark and system administration state. Phoromatic handlers accept state-changing GET and POST actions without verifying a per-session submission token. An authenticated non-viewer must be induced to submit a crafted request; reachable actions include schedule triggers, system claims, maintenance changes, and reboot flags.
