CSRF bypass via preserved pre-login tokens
Published Mar 13, 2023 · Updated Feb 25, 2025
Cross-site request forgery in PrestaShop 1.7.0.0 through 8.0.0 allows remote attackers to bypass CSRF protection via token fixation. During authentication, the login flow preserves existing session attributes instead of clearing pre-login CSRF tokens, so attacker-selected tokens remain valid after the victim signs in. Exploitation requires attacker-controlled content on the same site and victim interaction; the public advisory does not identify the protected actions reachable with a fixed token.
