The dotCMS administration panel, versions 3.7.1 and earlier, are vulnerable to cross-site request forgery.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.12%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
The dotCMS administration panel, versions 3.7.1 and earlier, are vulnerable to cross-site request forgery. The dotCMS administrator panel contains a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability. An attacker can perform actions with the same permissions as a victim user, provided the victim has an active session and is induced to trigger the malicious request. An unauthenticated remote attacker may perform actions with the dotCMS administrator panel with the same permissions of a victim user or execute arbitrary system commands with the permissions of the user running the dotCMS application.
