Full Report
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability (CVE-2026-1468) has been found in QuickCMS software.
Analysis Summary
# Vulnerability: QuickCMS Multi-Endpoint Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
## CVE Details
- **CVE ID**: CVE-2026-1468
- **CVSS Score**: Not provided in source (Estimated: 8.1 - 8.8 High range if administrative actions can be spoofed)
- **CWE**: CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery)
## Affected Systems
- **Products**: OpenSolution QuickCMS
- **Versions**: 6.8 (Confirmed); other versions are likely vulnerable but untested.
- **Configurations**: Default installations; the software lacks global CSRF protection mechanisms.
## Vulnerability Description
QuickCMS fails to implement anti-CSRF tokens or similar validation mechanisms across its web forms. This flaw allows a remote attacker to bypass the implicit trust the application has in a user's browser. Because the software does not verify that a request was intentionally initiated by the user, an attacker can force a logged-in user (such as an administrator) to perform unintended actions by sending a specially crafted POST request from an external site.
## Exploitation
- **Status**: Reported to CERT Polska; PoC methodology described.
- **Complexity**: Low
- **Attack Vector**: Network (Web-based)
## Impact
- **Confidentiality**: None (CSRF typically does not allow the attacker to retrieve data directly).
- **Integrity**: High (Attacker can perform any action the victim is authorized to do, such as changing site settings, deleting content, or creating new admin accounts).
- **Availability**: Medium to High (Could lead to site availability issues if configurations are altered or content is deleted).
## Remediation
### Patches
- **No official patch available**: The vendor (OpenSolution) was notified by CERT Polska but did not provide details on a fix or a version range for a patch.
### Workarounds
- **Session Management**: Ensure administrative sessions are terminated immediately after use.
- **Browser Security**: Use browser extensions that block cross-site requests or enforce strict SameSite cookie attributes.
- **Custom Code Implementation**: Developers using QuickCMS may manually implement CSRF tokens for critical forms (e.g., login, configuration, and user management).
## Detection
- **Indicators of Compromise**: Unexpected configuration changes, new administrative users not created by staff, or unauthorized content modifications.
- **Detection Methods**: Reviewing web server logs for POST requests originating from external referrers to sensitive administrative endpoints.
