Silverstripe Forum Module CSRF Vulnerability
GHSA-w8fq-xgvh-cxc2
- Affected
- Packagist silverstripe/forum <= 0.6.1; >= 0.7.0, <= 0.7.3
- Fixed in
- 0.7.40.6.2· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- A number of form actions in the Forum module are directly accessible. A malicious user (e.g. spammer) can use GET requests to create Members and post to forums, bypassing CSRF and anti-spam measures. Additionally, a forum moderator could be tricked into clicking a specially crafted URL, resulting in a topic being moved. Thanks to Michael Strong for discovering.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 0.7.4 or 0.6.2 by release line, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
