Description
Admidio before 5.0.11 does not validate the adm_csrf_token in modules/category-report/preferences.php, which performs persistent Category Report configuration changes based on GET parameters (delete and copy). An attacker can trick an authenticated administrator into visiting a crafted URL to delete or duplicate Category Report configurations, affecting the integrity and availability of that module's configuration.

AI Analysis

Impact

Admidio versions prior to 5.0.11 are vulnerable to a cross‑site request forgery that originates from the category‑report preferences page. Because the adm_csrf_token is not validated for GET requests that change configuration, an attacker can craft a URL containing delete or copy operations and persuade a logged‑in administrator to visit it. Successful exploitation leads to the administrator’s account being used to modify persistent configuration data, resulting in unintended removal or duplication of Category Report settings.

Affected Systems

The affected software is Admidio, a web‑based community portal. Any installation running a version earlier than 5.0.11 is potentially vulnerable. The issue exists in the modules/category-report/preferences.php file and affects all users with administrative privileges.

Risk and Exploitability

The base CVSS score is 7.1, indicating a high severity weakness. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. The attack surface requires the victim to be an authenticated administrator who follows a malicious link, so the practical probability is moderate but non‑negligible in environments where administrator users are frequently exposed to malicious content. Exploitation is straightforward: send a crafted GET request to the preferences page, which deletes or copies configuration entries without confirmation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Admidio to version 5.0.11 or later, where CSRF token validation is enforced for configuration changes.
  • If an upgrade is not feasible, restrict the category‑report module so that any state‑changing GET request requires a valid CSRF token and is only processed when the request is POST.
  • Verify that any admin‑grade configuration changes are performed over HTTPS and consider adding additional request validation or limiting the list of admins with configuration privileges.
