Privilege escalation via unverified role-update requests
Published Apr 22, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Cross-site request forgery in Mingsoft MCMS 5.2.7 allows remote attackers to escalate privileges and modify data through role updates. The /role/saveOrUpdateRole.do handler accepts a state-changing role request without sufficiently verifying that the authenticated user intentionally submitted it. Exploitation requires an authenticated user capable of updating roles to interact with attacker-controlled content, enabling unauthorized role and data changes in that user's session.
