Profile modification via unvalidated cross-origin POST
Published Dec 22, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Cross-site request forgery in PHPGurukul Online Notes Sharing System 1.0 allows remote attackers to change a user's profile via crafted requests. The /user/profile.php endpoint accepts cross-origin POST values for name, email, mobilenumber, and submit, then updates the profile without validating request origin or an anti-CSRF token. Exploitation requires an authenticated user to load attacker-controlled HTML, allowing profile details to be overwritten under that user's session.
