Unauthorized admin creation via missing CSRF token
Published Aug 18, 2023 · Updated Oct 2, 2024
CSRF in Social Media Skeleton before 1.0.5 allows remote attackers to create an administrator through an authenticated administrator's browser. The admin/atask/add.php endpoint accepted email and password fields and inserted an admin record without validating a session-bound CSRF token. Exploitation requires an authenticated administrator to submit an attacker-crafted request, after which the new account receives administrative access.
