Description
Admidio is an open-source user management solution. Prior to version 5.0.10, the sensitive `mode=export` action in `modules/sso/keys.php` exports a PKCS#12 bundle containing the configured private key and certificate, but the CSRF validation line is commented out. A forged cross-site POST from an administrator session can therefore trigger private key export without a valid form token. Version 5.0.10 contains a fix.

AI Analysis

Impact

Admidio, an open‑source user‑management platform, contains a CSRF‑vulnerable action that allows administrators to export a PKCS#12 bundle with the private key and certificate. The CSRF validation routine is commented out in versions prior to 5.0.10, meaning a malicious website can send a forged POST on behalf of an authenticated admin and retrieve the private key. The flaw gives an attacker the ability to compromise the confidentiality of the private key used by the SSO system.

Affected Systems

All released Admidio versions up to 5.0.9 are affected, including the 5.0.9 release that is widely deployed. The issue resides in the modules/sso/keys.php file. Version 5.0.10 includes a fix that reinstates CSRF validation.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability scores as a moderate CVSS 4.3 and has no current EPSS, and it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires an active administrator session and a cross‑site POST request, making the attack possible when an admin is logged in and visits a malicious page. Attackers can extract the private key, compromising the integrity and confidentiality of all signed SSO tokens.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to Admidio 5.0.10 or newer, where CSRF checks are restored for the key export action.
  • Verify that the CSRF token validation line is active and that the export route requires a valid token before outputting the bundle.
  • If upgrading immediately is not feasible, block the key export endpoint for all users or restrict it to a secure, internal network only, and monitor for anomalous requests.
