Description
Concrete CMS below version 9.4.8 is subject to CSRF by a Rogue Administrator using the Anti-Spam Allowlist Group Configuration via group_id parameter which can leads to a security bypass since changes are saved prior to checking the CSRF token. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v.4.0 score of 2.3 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N.

Impact: CSRF that permits a rogue administrator to modify the Anti‑Spam Allowlist Group before CSRF validation
Action: Apply Patch
AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability occurs when an administrator supplies the group_id parameter to edit the Anti‑Spam Allowlist Group configuration. The system writes those changes before verifying the CSRF token, allowing the authenticated admin to alter spam filtering settings without the expected CSRF protection. The weakness is a low‑severity CSRF flaw identified as CWE‑352.

Affected Systems

All Concrete CMS installations using a version prior to 9.4.8 are affected. There are no stated platform or operating system restrictions; any environment that permits administrative access to the CMS is vulnerable until the patch is applied. The affected functionality is the Anti‑Spam Allowlist Group configuration.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS v4.0 score of 2.3 indicates a low impact, and the EPSS score of under 1% suggests a very low probability of exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. An attacker must first authenticate as an administrator to take advantage of the flaw; they can then change the anti‑spam group settings before the CSRF token is validated. While no public exploit is currently known, the flaw remains active and could permit unauthorized modification of spam filtering rules.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Concrete CMS to version 9.4.8 or newer, which ensures that CSRF validation occurs before saving configuration changes.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict or remove administrator access to the Anti‑Spam Allowlist Group configuration page and/or disable the feature until the patch is deployed.
  • Enable logging and alerting of configuration changes, and conduct regular audits of administrator activity to detect any unauthorized modifications.
