Arbitrary file uploads via missing CSRF validation
Published Feb 20, 2026 · Updated Feb 20, 2026
CSRF in GetSimple CMS Community Edition 3.3.22 and earlier allows attackers to upload arbitrary files through an authenticated browser. The admin/upload.php endpoint accepts cross-origin authenticated POST requests without a CSRF token or Origin validation. Exploitation requires an authenticated administrator to visit an attacker-controlled page, enabling persistent content hosting, storage abuse, or defacement.
