CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedAdmidio versions 5.0.11 and earlier are vulnerable due to the lack of CSRF token validation in the modules/plugins.php endpoint, allowing attackers to exploit GET requests for plugin operations. This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized plugin uninstallation, potentially resulting in data loss through the execution of destructive SQL scripts. Organizations using Admidio should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of exploitation, especially those with administrative access exposed to untrusted sources.

Original NVD Description
Admidio is an open-source user management solution. In versions 5.0.11 and prior, the modules/plugins.php endpoint handles plugin installation, uninstallation, and update operations via GET requests without CSRF token validation. Because these are top-level navigations, browsers include SameSite=Lax session cookies. An attacker crafts a malicious page that, when an authenticated administrator visits it, triggers arbitrary plugin operations. The uninstall operation executes DROP TABLE SQL scripts and destroys plugin data. This issue has been patched via commit 056b1bd.
