CVE-2023-0398Network attack vector

Domain deletion via state-changing GET request

Published Jan 19, 2023 · Updated Apr 3, 2025

CSRF in Modoboa before 2.0.4 allows remote attackers to delete mail domains through an authenticated administrator's browser. The deldomain view in modoboa/admin/views/domain.py accepts state-changing GET requests instead of requiring POST, so a crafted cross-origin request invokes domain deletion. A victim must be signed in with admin.delete_domain permission and visit attacker-controlled content; successful exploitation deletes the selected domain.
