Attacker-defined article creation via forged administrator POST
Published Aug 20, 2025 · Updated Aug 20, 2025
Cross-site request forgery in OpenSolution Quick.Cms 6.8 allows remote attackers to create articles through an administrator's browser. The article-creation workflow accepts a cross-origin POST and commits attacker-defined content under the administrator's active session. Exploitation requires an authenticated administrator to visit the crafted site; changing the default administration path makes the attack harder but does not prevent article creation.
