CVE-2010-2007 in LetoDMS
Summary
by MITRE
Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in LetoDMS (formerly MyDMS) 1.7.2 and earlier allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that use (1) op/op.EditUserData.php, (2) op/op.UsrMgr.php, (3) out/out.RemoveVersion.php, (4) op/op.RemoveFolder.php, (5) op/op.DefaultKeywords.php, (6) op/op.GroupMgr.php, (7) op/op.FolderAccess.php, (8) op/op.FolderNotify.php, or (9) op.MoveFolder.php in mydms.

The vulnerability identified as CVE-2010-2007 represents a critical cross-site request forgery issue affecting LetoDMS version 1.7.2 and earlier implementations. This flaw exists within the web application's authentication mechanisms and allows malicious actors to exploit the system's trust relationship with authenticated users. The vulnerability specifically targets the administrative functions of the document management system, enabling unauthorized users to perform privileged operations on behalf of administrators without their knowledge or consent. The affected endpoints include several critical administrative interfaces such as user management, folder operations, and access control configurations, making this vulnerability particularly dangerous for organizations relying on this document management solution.
The technical implementation of this CSRF vulnerability stems from the absence of proper anti-CSRF token validation mechanisms within the targeted PHP scripts. These scripts operate without requiring unique, unpredictable tokens that would verify the authenticity of requests originating from legitimate administrative sessions. Attackers can craft malicious web pages or exploit existing vulnerabilities in other applications to submit requests to the vulnerable endpoints, effectively hijacking administrator sessions and executing unauthorized administrative actions. The vulnerability affects multiple operational interfaces including user data modification, group management, folder access control, and document version management functions, creating a broad attack surface for potential exploitation.
The operational impact of this vulnerability extends beyond simple privilege escalation, as it provides attackers with comprehensive administrative control over the document management system. Successful exploitation could result in unauthorized document modifications, user account manipulation, access control changes, and potential data exfiltration from the organization's document repository. The vulnerability is particularly concerning because it affects core administrative functions that are frequently accessed and modified within typical document management workflows. Organizations using LetoDMS versions prior to the patched release face significant risk of unauthorized administrative actions that could compromise the integrity and confidentiality of their document management infrastructure.
Mitigation strategies for CVE-2010-2007 should prioritize immediate patching of the affected LetoDMS installations to version 1.7.3 or later, which includes proper CSRF token implementation. Organizations should also implement additional defensive measures such as input validation for all administrative endpoints, session management enhancements, and regular security audits of web applications. The vulnerability aligns with CWE-352, which specifically addresses Cross-Site Request Forgery weaknesses in web applications. From an ATT&CK framework perspective, this vulnerability maps to techniques involving privilege escalation and credential access, with potential for lateral movement within the organization's network infrastructure. Security teams should also consider implementing web application firewalls and monitoring for suspicious administrative activity patterns to detect potential exploitation attempts.
