Account takeover via unprotected administrative requests
Published Dec 11, 2024 · Updated Nov 3, 2025
Cross-site request forgery in Image Access GmbH Scan2Net before 7.40 allows remote attackers to alter accounts through an administrator's browser. The admin.cgi password-reset action accepts a forged link, while upuserdata.cgi accepts a cross-origin, auto-submitted user-creation form without a CSRF token. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to visit attacker-controlled content and can replace the administrator password or add an account.
