Unauthorized actions via CSRF token bypass
Published Aug 9, 2023 · Updated Oct 10, 2024
Cross-site request forgery in Paessler PRTG Network Monitor 23.2.84.1566 and earlier allows remote attackers to act with a victim user’s permissions. The PRTG core server accepts malicious requests after its CSRF protection is bypassed, but Paessler has not disclosed how the token check is defeated. Exploitation requires an active victim session and user interaction; successful requests can perform any action available to that victim, including creating users.
