Description
Concrete CMS 9.5.2 and below is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in the Express "Clear Entries" function (POST /index.php/dashboard/system/express/entities/delete_entries) because the controller records but does not enforce a failed CSRF token check, allowing the destructive operation to proceed when the token is missing or invalid. A remote unauthenticated attacker can force an authenticated administrator who visits an attacker-controlled page to permanently delete all entries belonging to an attacker-selected Express entity on a web application to which the administrator is currently authenticated. Because the default Contact Express object ships with a fixed entity UUID, the target identifier can be obtained without dashboard access. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v4.0 score of 6.1 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N. Thanks Pratik Zanjurne for reporting.

AI Analysis

Impact

This vulnerability is caused by the Express Clear Entries controller not enforcing a CSRF token check, allowing a malicious request to delete all records of request even if the CSRF token is missing or invalid, enabling mass data loss. An attacker can force a logged‑in administrator to visit an attacker‑controlled page to trigger the destructive operation, permanently removing all entries belonging to the specified entity, including default objects with fixed UUIDs that can be discovered without dashboard access.

Affected Systems

Concrete CMS versions 9.5.2 and earlier are affected. Administrators using these versions are at (POST /index.php/dashboard/system/express/entities/delete_entries) is exposed and not properly protected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS V4.0 score of 6.1 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low likelihood of exploitation in the wild, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Nonetheless, a remote unauthenticated attacker can trigger the flaw logged‑in administrator to load the delete_entries endpoint without a valid CSRF token. This can permanently erase all entries for any Express entity, causing significant loss of data for the compromised site.
