Unauthenticated administrator creation via unchecked addAdmin handler
Published Aug 26, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Missing authentication in cskefu 7.0.1 allows remote attackers to create administrator accounts through the web interface. The /addAdmin handler accepts attacker-controlled account fields, sets the new user's admin flag, and saves it without checking the current user. No login is required; unique username, email, and mobile values are sufficient to create the privileged account and enter its session.
