Apache CouchDB Cross Site Request Forgery

Apache CouchDB Cross Site Request Forgery
Posted Aug 17, 2010
Authored by Jan Lehnardt | Site couchdb.apache.org

Apache CouchDB versions prior to version 0.11.1 are vulnerable to cross site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. A malicious website can POST arbitrary JavaScript code to well known CouchDB installation URLs (like http://localhost:5984/) and make the browser execute the injected JavaScript in the security context of CouchDB's admin interface Futon.

Severity: Important

Vendor:
The Apache Software Foundation

Versions Affected:
Apache CouchDB 0.8.0 to 0.11.0

Description:
Apache CouchDB versions prior to version 0.11.1 are vulnerable to
cross site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.

Example:
A malicious website can POST arbitrary JavaScript code to well
known CouchDB installation URLs (like http://localhost:5984/)
and make the browser execute the injected JavaScript in the
security context of CouchDB's admin interface Futon.

Unrelated, but in addition the JSONP API has been turned off
by default to avoid potential information leakage.

Credit:

anonymous.
