Group deletion via unverified cross-origin request
Published Aug 20, 2024 · Updated Aug 21, 2024
Cross-site request forgery in Pligg CMS 2.0.2 allows remote attackers to delete a group by luring an administrator to submit a request. The admin_group.php delete action trusts attacker-supplied mode and group_id values in a cross-origin POST without verifying a request-specific token. Exploitation requires an authenticated administrator's browser to submit the crafted form and deletes the selected group.
