Diary-entry deletion via CSRF-unprotected GET request

Published Mar 27, 2026 · Updated Mar 27, 2026

Cross-site request forgery in SourceCodester Diary App 1.0 allows remote attackers to delete diary entries through diary.php. The deletion branch reads the delete query parameter from a GET request and executes a user-scoped DELETE statement without checking a CSRF token or request origin. Exploitation requires an authenticated user with an active session to visit an attacker-controlled webpage, after which the selected diary entry is permanently deleted.
