Department deletion via tokenless Delete_dep request
Published Jun 29, 2026 · Updated Jun 29, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in CodeAstro Human Resource Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to delete departments. The Delete_dep function in the Organization controller accepts a session-authenticated request with a predictable department ID and deletes that record without checking an anti-CSRF token or request origin. Exploitation requires an administrator with an active session to open attacker-controlled content, and the demonstrated consequence is deletion of a targeted department.
