Site footer modification via forged POST request
Published Jan 8, 2024 · Updated Jun 3, 2025
Cross-site request forgery in FlyCms 1.0 allows remote attackers to alter site footer configuration via a forged POST request. The /system/site/config_footer_updagte endpoint accepts attacker-controlled fly_footer_code content from a cross-origin form without validating that the request was intentional. Exploitation requires a logged-in user with footer-editing access to submit the form, resulting in unauthorized changes to displayed footer content.
