Bulk comment creation via concurrent request replay
Published Jan 28, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Concurrency weakness in YzmCMS 6.3 allows remote authenticated users to create unusually large numbers of comments by replaying requests. The front-end comment function accepts each repeated captured submission as a separate comment without an effective concurrency control. A valid account and an initial article-comment request are required; the demonstrated consequence is bulk creation of malicious comments, not a reported service interruption.
