Published May 16, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024
Cross-site request forgery in SourceCodester Simple Online Bidding System 1.0 allows remote attackers to change an administrator password. The save_user action in admin/ajax.php accepts a cross-origin POST containing an administrator ID and replacement password without a CSRF token. An authenticated administrator must visit an attacker-controlled page; successful exploitation replaces the account password and enables administrative account takeover.
