Unauthorized user creation via missing CSRF validation
Published Sep 19, 2024 · Updated Sep 19, 2024
Cross-site request forgery in Frog CMS 0.9.5 allows remote attackers to create users through an authenticated administrator's browser. UserController::add routes POST requests directly to _add, which consumes submitted user fields and saves the account without validating a CSRF token. An administrator must remain authenticated and submit the attacker's form; the demonstrated consequence is creation of a new CMS user, with no demonstrated permission grant.
