Variable modification via missing request validation
Published Oct 17, 2023 · Updated Sep 13, 2024
Cross-site request forgery in Dreamer CMS 4.1.3 allows remote attackers to modify CMS variables through the /variable/update endpoint. The endpoint accepts a state-changing variable update under an authenticated browser session without verifying that the request was intentionally submitted. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to load attacker-controlled content, after which variables can be changed with the victim's authority.
