What is CVE-2018-25397?

PHP-SHOP 1.0 is vulnerable to a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack, enabling unauthenticated attackers to create unauthorized administrative accounts. By tricking authenticated users into visiting a web page containing a maliciously crafted HTML form, an attacker can exploit the users.php endpoint. This page submits POST requests that can add admin users by providing parameters such as name, email, password, and permissions. As a result, attackers can gain significant access within the application without proper authorization.

Affected Version(s)

PHP-SHOP master 1.0

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
