Template deletion via forged tpl.php request
Published May 7, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024
Cross-site request forgery in DedeCMS 5.7 allows remote attackers to delete template files through a crafted tpl.php request. The tpl.php handler accepts action=del with attacker-chosen acdir and filename values and deletes the selected template without an anti-CSRF token. An authenticated administrator must submit or load the request; the published proof of concept targets ajaxfeedback2.htm in the default template directory.
