OVERVIEW¶
Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in Ajax Processor Endpoints.
DESCRIPTION¶
Due to the use of the HTTP GET method for a state-changing operation in the Ajax processor of the carbon console, a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability exists. Although the service endpoints rely on the SameSite=Lax cookie attribute for CSRF mitigation, this mechanism is ineffective in this context, as SameSite=Lax allows cookies to be sent with cross-origin top-level navigation requests, including GET requests. As a result, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform unauthorized actions on behalf of authenticated users. However, according to WSO2 Secure Production Guidelines 1, exposing the Carbon console and related services to the public internet is not recommended.
IMPACT¶
By leveraging the CSRF attack, a malicious actor can trick an authenticated user’s browser into unknowingly executing unintended actions on a vulnerable web application. This may result in unauthorized operations such as data modification, account changes, or other state-altering requests, potentially leading to data compromise, privilege escalation, or loss of user control over their account.
