CVE-2023-38759Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Account takeover via forged user-management requests

Published Aug 8, 2023 · Updated Oct 10, 2024

CSRF in wger Workout Manager 2.2.0a3 allows remote attackers to take over accounts through email-change and password-reset requests. The user-management endpoints accept authenticated state-changing requests without verifying that the signed-in user intentionally submitted them. A victim must use a compromised session or load attacker-controlled content; forged requests can change an email address, initiate a reset, and expose account data.
