The vulnerability identified as CVE-2024-35552 affects idccms version 1.35 and represents a critical Cross-Site Request Forgery flaw that could enable attackers to perform unauthorized actions within the application's administrative interface. This CSRF vulnerability exists within the specific endpoint /admin/infoMove_deal.php which handles various data operations including deletion of logo files through the dataType=logo parameter. The flaw allows malicious actors to trick authenticated administrators into executing unintended operations without their knowledge or consent, potentially leading to complete system compromise.
The technical implementation of this vulnerability stems from the absence of proper anti-CSRF token validation within the targeted administrative endpoint. When an administrator visits a malicious website or clicks on a crafted link, the browser automatically submits requests to the vulnerable idccms application without requiring re-authentication or token verification. The specific parameter mudi=del indicates that this endpoint is designed for deletion operations, while dataType=logo suggests that attackers could target logo file removal operations. This represents a classic CSRF attack vector where the application fails to validate the origin of requests originating from external domains, violating fundamental security principles of request authenticity verification.
The operational impact of this vulnerability extends beyond simple file deletion, as it provides attackers with potential access to administrative functions that could lead to complete system compromise. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to delete critical logo files, potentially disrupting the application's user interface and functionality, or more dangerously, to execute other administrative operations that could result in data loss, service disruption, or further exploitation. The vulnerability is particularly concerning because it targets the administrative interface, which typically possesses elevated privileges and access to sensitive system functions. According to CWE-352, this vulnerability maps directly to Cross-Site Request Forgery, which is classified as a weakness that allows attackers to perform actions on behalf of authenticated users without their knowledge, making it a severe threat to application security.
Mitigation strategies for this CSRF vulnerability should include immediate implementation of anti-CSRF tokens within all administrative endpoints, particularly the vulnerable /admin/infoMove_deal.php component. The application should generate unique, unpredictable tokens for each user session and validate them on every state-changing request. Additionally, implementing the SameSite cookie attributes for administrative sessions would provide an additional layer of protection against cross-site request forgery attacks. Security measures should also include proper request origin validation, where the application verifies that requests originate from legitimate sources within the same domain. Organizations should consider implementing Content Security Policy headers and regular security testing to identify similar vulnerabilities across the application's attack surface. This vulnerability aligns with ATT&CK technique T1566.001 which involves the exploitation of web application vulnerabilities including CSRF to gain unauthorized access to systems and data, emphasizing the need for comprehensive web application security controls to prevent such attacks from succeeding.
