Subrion Cms Cross-Site Request Forgery

Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability exists in Intelliants Subrion CMS v4.2.1 via the Members administrator function, which could let a remote unauthenticated malicious user send an authorised request to victim and successfully create an arbitrary administrator user. (2022-03-04, CVE-2020-18326)

Subrion CMS 4.2.1 has CSRF in panel/modules/plugins/. The attacker can remotely activate/deactivate the plugins. (2020-11-10, CVE-2019-7357)

The absence of Anti-CSRF tokens may lead to a Cross-Site Request Forgery attack that can result in executing a specific application action as another logged in user, e.g. steal their account by changing their email and password or silently adding a new admin user account when executed from the administrator account.

The attacker may copy one of your web application forms, e.g. email/password change form.

The webpage will contain a form with the exact set of fields as the original application but with input values already provided and the submit button replaced with a Javascript code causing auto-submission. When the page is accessed the form will be immediately submitted and page contents replaced with a valid content or a redirect to your original application.

One of your application users who is already logged in can be then tricked to navigate to such malicious page e.g. by clicking a link in a phishing email, and the pre-populated form content will be submitted to your application like it would be submitted by your user.
