CVE-2024-48758 identifies a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in dingfanzu CMS version 1.0, specifically targeting the addPro parameter within the doAdminAction.php component. CSRF vulnerabilities occur when an attacker tricks an authenticated user into submitting a malicious request unknowingly, leveraging the user's credentials and session to perform unauthorized actions. In this case, the vulnerability permits remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the affected system by exploiting the lack of proper CSRF protections on the addPro parameter. The vulnerability does not require prior authentication (PR:N) but does require user interaction (UI:R), such as clicking a crafted link or visiting a malicious webpage. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), and a scope change (S:C), meaning the vulnerability affects resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity (C:L/I:L) but not availability (A:N). No patches or fixes have been published yet, and there are no known exploits in the wild, suggesting this vulnerability is newly disclosed. The underlying weakness is classified under CWE-352, which corresponds to CSRF attacks. The vulnerability poses a risk to organizations using dingfanzu CMS, especially those exposing administrative interfaces to the internet without adequate CSRF protections.

The primary impact of CVE-2024-48758 is unauthorized code execution through CSRF attacks, which can lead to compromise of system integrity and confidentiality. Attackers can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands or inject malicious code, potentially leading to data leakage, unauthorized changes to website content, or further system compromise. Although availability is not directly affected, the integrity and confidentiality breaches can result in significant operational disruptions and loss of trust. Organizations relying on dingfanzu CMS for content management, especially those with internet-facing administrative portals, face increased risk of targeted attacks. The vulnerability's exploitation requires user interaction but no authentication, broadening the attack surface. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently limits immediate widespread impact, but the vulnerability could be weaponized if exploited by threat actors. This poses a particular threat to organizations with sensitive data or critical web infrastructure managed by dingfanzu CMS.

To mitigate CVE-2024-48758, organizations should implement robust CSRF protections immediately. This includes deploying anti-CSRF tokens in all forms and state-changing requests, especially those involving the addPro parameter in doAdminAction.php. Input validation and strict parameter whitelisting should be enforced to prevent injection of malicious payloads. Restrict access to administrative interfaces by IP whitelisting, VPNs, or multi-factor authentication to reduce exposure. Monitoring and logging of administrative actions can help detect suspicious activity. Since no official patches are available, consider applying virtual patching via web application firewalls (WAF) to block suspicious requests targeting the vulnerable parameter. Educate users and administrators about the risks of CSRF and the importance of avoiding clicking on untrusted links while authenticated. Regularly review and update CMS components and monitor vendor advisories for forthcoming patches. Finally, conduct penetration testing to verify the effectiveness of implemented mitigations.
