CVE-2025-8739 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability identified in the zhenfeng13 My-Blog software, specifically affecting versions up to 1.0.0. The vulnerability arises from improper handling of the 'tagName' argument in the /admin/tags/save endpoint. CSRF vulnerabilities allow an attacker to trick an authenticated user into submitting a request that they did not intend to make, potentially causing unauthorized actions on the web application. In this case, an attacker could craft a malicious request that, when executed by an authenticated administrator or user with sufficient privileges, could manipulate blog tags without their consent. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without requiring any authentication or privileges, but it does require user interaction (the victim must visit a malicious page or click a crafted link). The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3, indicating a medium severity level. The vector details show that the attack vector is network-based (AV:N), with low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), but user interaction is necessary (UI:P). The impact on confidentiality is none, integrity impact is low, and availability impact is none. No known exploits are currently observed in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet. The vulnerability's presence in an administrative function (/admin/tags/save) suggests that successful exploitation could allow unauthorized modification of blog content metadata, potentially leading to content manipulation or defacement, which could undermine trust in the affected blog platform.

For European organizations using zhenfeng13 My-Blog version 1.0.0 or earlier, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized modification of blog tags by attackers exploiting CSRF. While the direct confidentiality and availability impacts are minimal, the integrity of the blog content could be compromised, potentially damaging the organization's reputation and trustworthiness. This is particularly relevant for organizations that rely on their blogs for public communication, marketing, or customer engagement. Attackers could manipulate tags to mislead users, affect search engine optimization, or insert misleading metadata. Since the vulnerability requires user interaction and targets administrative functions, the risk is higher if administrative users are not trained to recognize phishing attempts or if anti-CSRF protections are absent. The lack of known exploits in the wild reduces immediate risk, but public disclosure increases the likelihood of future exploitation attempts. European organizations with public-facing blogs or content management systems using this software should consider the reputational and operational impacts, especially in regulated industries where content integrity is critical.

1. Implement Anti-CSRF Tokens: Ensure that all state-changing requests, especially in administrative endpoints like /admin/tags/save, require a valid anti-CSRF token that is verified server-side. 2. Enforce SameSite Cookies: Configure authentication cookies with the 'SameSite' attribute set to 'Strict' or 'Lax' to reduce the risk of CSRF attacks via cross-origin requests. 3. User Education: Train administrative users to recognize phishing attempts and avoid clicking on suspicious links or visiting untrusted websites while logged into the blog administration panel. 4. Restrict Administrative Access: Limit access to the admin interface by IP whitelisting or VPN access where feasible to reduce exposure. 5. Monitor Logs: Implement monitoring to detect unusual tag modification activities or repeated requests to the /admin/tags/save endpoint. 6. Update and Patch: Although no patch links are currently available, monitor vendor announcements for patches or updates addressing this vulnerability and apply them promptly. 7. Use Web Application Firewalls (WAF): Deploy WAF rules to detect and block suspicious CSRF attack patterns targeting the affected endpoint. 8. Consider Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): While not directly preventing CSRF, MFA can reduce the risk of compromised credentials being used in conjunction with CSRF attacks.
