agorum core Pro Cross-Site Request Forgery (CWE-352)

The tested web application component offers no protection against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. This kind of attack forces end users respectively their web browsers to perform unwanted actions in a web application context in which they are currently authenticated. CSRF attacks specifically target state-changing requests, for example in order to enable or disable a feature, and not data theft, as an attacker usually has no possibility to see the response of the forged request.

Mitigation:

Implementing a CSRF token in the web application can prevent CSRF attacks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Overview:

agorum core Pro is a module based Document Management System. It allows 
the customer to buy only required modules and can be extended when 
needed. 

Due to missing protection mechanisms, the web application component is
vulnerable to cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vulnerability Details:

The tested web application component offers no protection against cross-
site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. This kind of attack forces end
users respectively their web browsers to perform unwanted actions in a
web application context in which they are currently authenticated.

CSRF attacks specifically target state-changing requests, for example in
order to enable or disable a feature, and not data theft, as an attacker
usually has no possibility to see the response of the forged request.

In general, CSRF attacks are conducted with the help of the victim, for 
example by a user visiting an attacker-controlled URL sent by e-mail in 
its web browser. Often, cross-site request forgery attacks make use of 
cross-site scripting attacks, but this is not mandatory.

CSRF attacks can also be performed against a web application if a victim
is only visiting an attacker-controlled web server. In this case, the
attacker-controlled web server is used to generate a specially crafted
HTTP request in the context of the user's web browser which is then sent
to the vulnerable target web application.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Proof of Concept (PoC):

The following HTML file containing a web form generates a simple crafted
HTTP POST request that can be used to add an administration user to the
web application in the context of an administrative user.

PoC HTML file to add an administration user 'ADDEDUSER' with the password 
'PASSWORD123':
