Description

A security vulnerability has been detected in light0011 cms c774dce31c6df0055568a8d5c53d964d99be199d/f72cf46f601efb2a0618c3814cc2f61380b38930. This vulnerability affects unknown code. The manipulation leads to cross-site request forgery. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. This product is using a rolling release to provide continious delivery. Therefore, no version details for affected nor updated releases are available. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

  "executiveSummary": "A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability has been identified in the light0011 cms (commit c774dce31c6df0055568a8d5c53d964d99be199d/f72cf46f601efb2a0618c3814cc2f61380b38930).\nThis vulnerability allows a remote attacker to force an authenticated user to perform unintended actions within the application without their consent.\nThe product utilizes a rolling release model, meaning specific version numbers are unavailable, and the vulnerability currently remains unpatched despite prior disclosure to the project maintainers.\nThe risk implication is high, as successful exploitation enables attackers to execute unauthorized commands or state-changing operations by leveraging the victim's session.\nThe attack is remotely exploitable and relies on tricking a legitimate, authenticated user into interacting with a malicious crafted request, typically via a link or a background script.\nNo authentication is required by the attacker to initiate the CSRF sequence, as the exploit relies on the victim's existing authenticated state.",
  "technicalDetails": "The vulnerability resides within the light0011 cms codebase, specifically affecting components that perform state-changing operations—such as configuration updates, user management, or content modification—without implementing adequate CSRF protection mechanisms.\nRoot Cause: The application lacks implementation of unique, unpredictable anti-CSRF tokens (synchronizer token pattern) or SameSite cookie attribute protections for sensitive requests. Consequently, the server-side logic fails to verify the origin or the authenticity of the request context, accepting state-changing requests based solely on session cookies that are automatically attached by the browser.\nAttack Flow: An attacker identifies a target URL within the cms that performs a privileged action. The attacker constructs a malicious payload, typically embedded in an HTML element (e.g., an <img> tag, a hidden <iframe>, or a cross-origin form submission), which points to the target endpoint. This payload is then distributed to an authenticated user through social engineering, phishing, or by embedding it on a malicious third-party website.\nExploitation Method: When the victim, who maintains an active session with the light0011 cms, visits the malicious site or triggers the payload, their browser automatically includes the necessary session cookies in the forged request. The cms server processes the request as a legitimate instruction from the authenticated user, executing the action intended by the attacker.\nAuthentication/Privilege Requirements: The attacker does not need to authenticate to the cms directly. Instead, they leverage the victim's active session. The impact of the exploitation is directly proportional to the privileges held by the victim. If an administrator is targeted, the attacker could effectively gain full administrative control over the application.\nPost-Exploitation Impact: Depending on the specific endpoint targeted, the impact can range from unauthorized data modification, account takeover, or configuration changes, to potentially broader system compromise. Because the vulnerability is publicly disclosed and currently lacks a vendor-provided fix, the exposure window for users remains open, necessitating immediate manual intervention by system administrators to secure the installation environment."
