Session termination via unprotected logout request
Published Dec 22, 2024 · Updated Mar 13, 2025
Cross-site request forgery in REDCap 14.9.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to terminate user sessions through calendar event notes. The Notes field accepts attacker-supplied HTML that issues a logout request, while the logout function lacks a CSRF token or equivalent origin check. A user must view the crafted calendar event; successful exploitation logs that user out, with no independently documented data access or modification.
