Unauthorized role creation via forged admin request
Published Jan 12, 2024 · Updated Jun 17, 2025
Cross-site request forgery in Verydows 2.0 allows remote attackers to create a privileged role through the backend role controller. The role add action accepts an automatically submitted cross-origin POST carrying role_name and role_acl[] without a CSRF token. Exploitation requires an authenticated administrator's browser to submit attacker-controlled form data, creating a role with selected administrative permissions.
