CVE-2023-5690Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Forced logout via CSRF-unprotected GET request

Published Oct 20, 2023 · Updated Sep 11, 2024

CSRF in Modoboa before 2.2.2 allows remote attackers to force authenticated users out of active sessions through a crafted request. The dologout view accepts GET requests, so a cross-origin link or embedded request reaches the logout operation without a CSRF token. Exploitation requires an authenticated user to load attacker-controlled content and only terminates that user's current session.
