Administrator account creation via dashboard request forgery
Published Nov 17, 2023 · Updated Dec 2, 2024
Cross-site request forgery in Trellix ePolicy Orchestrator before 5.10.0 SP1 UP2 allows remote authenticated users to create administrator accounts. The dashboard processes a modified account-creation HTTP payload as an authorized request and assigns administrator privileges to the submitted account. Exploitation requires a logged-in low-privilege user, user interaction, and payload alteration after submission but before server receipt.
