Category status changes via forged administrator requests
Published Dec 5, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Cross-site request forgery in JFinalCMS 5.0.0 allows remote attackers to change category status through an administrator's browser. The /admin/category/updateStatus handler accepts a cross-origin POST containing attacker-chosen id and value fields, and the published proof shows that request succeeding without a request-bound anti-CSRF value. Exploitation requires a signed-in administrator to load attacker-controlled content, and the demonstrated consequence is limited to enabling or disabling a chosen category.
