Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in EGroupware 1.6.001/1.8006 (Groupware Software). This issue affects an unknown code of the file index.php. The manipulation of the argument newsettings with an unknown input leads to a cross-site request forgery vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-352. The web application does not, or can not, sufficiently verify whether a well-formed, valid, consistent request was intentionally provided by the user who submitted the request. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in EGroupware Enterprise Line (EPL) before 1.1.20140505, EGroupware Community Edition before 1.8.007.20140506, and EGroupware before 14.1 beta allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that (1) create an administrator user via an admin.uiaccounts.add_user action to index.php or (2) modify settings via the newsettings parameter in an admin.uiconfig.index action to index.php. NOTE: vector 2 can be used to execute arbitrary PHP code by leveraging CVE-2014-2988.
