Account takeover via forged password-change request
Published Oct 13, 2022 · Updated May 15, 2025
CSRF in RPCMS 3.0.2 allows remote attackers to change any account password through an administrator's authenticated browser. The /admin/index/updatePsw.html endpoint accepts attacker-chosen nickname and password values without validating request origin or an anti-CSRF token. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to open attacker-controlled content, after which the chosen account password is replaced.
