CVE-2023-0406Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Account deletion via GET-enabled deletion view

Published Jan 19, 2023 · Updated Apr 3, 2025

Cross-site request forgery in Modoboa before 2.0.4 allows remote attackers to delete accounts through an administrator's browser. The delaccount view in modoboa/admin/views/identity.py accepts GET requests and immediately deletes the user selected by the pk path value. A victim must be signed in with core.delete_user permission and follow a crafted link; the resulting request deletes the targeted account.
