Administrative data modification via state-changing GET requests
Published Apr 21, 2023 · Updated Feb 4, 2025
Cross-site request forgery in Modoboa before 2.1.0 allows remote attackers to alter domains or accounts through a logged-in administrator. The editdomain and editaccount views accept state-changing GET requests, so a crafted link can reuse an administrator's session. A privileged administrator must be logged in and interact with attacker-controlled content; the resulting changes run with that administrator's permissions.
