Cross-Site Request Forgery occurrences in Yetishare

payment_manage.ajax.php and various *_manage.ajax.php in MFScripts YetiShare 3.5.2 through 4.5.4 directly insert values from the sSortDir_0 parameter into a SQL string. This allows an attacker to inject their own SQL and manipulate the query, typically extracting data from the database, aka SQL Injection. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2019-19732. (2020-02-10, CVE-2019-20059)

MFScripts YetiShare 3.5.2 through 4.5.3 does not set the SameSite flag on session cookies, allowing the cookie to be sent in cross-site requests and potentially be used in cross-site request forgery attacks. (2019-12-30, CVE-2019-19737)

Why Cross-Site Request Forgery can be dangerous

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.
