Unauthorized file upload via missing CSRF validation
Published Nov 25, 2022 · Updated Apr 25, 2025
Cross-site request forgery in Prasath Mani Tiny File Manager 2.4.8 allows remote attackers to induce unauthorized file actions. The upload workflow accepts state-changing browser requests without validating a per-session anti-CSRF token, so attacker-controlled content can submit an upload under a victim's session. Exploitation requires an authenticated administrator to load attacker-controlled content; the demonstrated consequence is an unintended server-side file upload.
