CVE-2026-1468: CWE-352 Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in OpenSolution QuickCMS
QuickCMS is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery across multiple endpoints. An attacker can craft special website, which when visited by the victim, will automatically send a POST request with victim's privileges. This software does not implement any protection against this type of attack. All forms available in this software are potentially vulnerable. The vendor was notified early about this vulnerability, but didn't respond with the details of vulnerability or vulnerable version range. Only version 6.8 was tested and confirmed as vulnerable, other versions were not tested and might also be vulnerable.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-1468 identifies a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in OpenSolution QuickCMS version 6.8. CSRF attacks exploit the trust a web application places in a user's browser by tricking the user into submitting unauthorized requests. In this case, QuickCMS does not implement any anti-CSRF tokens or other protective mechanisms across its forms, leaving all endpoints vulnerable. An attacker can craft a malicious website that, when visited by an authenticated QuickCMS user, automatically sends POST requests leveraging the victim's session and privileges. This can lead to unauthorized actions such as content modification, configuration changes, or other state-altering operations within the CMS. The vendor was notified early but has not disclosed detailed vulnerability information or released patches, and other versions have not been tested, so the full scope is uncertain. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction needed, and low impact on integrity, with no impact on confidentiality or availability. No known exploits have been reported, but the lack of mitigation in the software makes exploitation feasible in targeted scenarios.
Potential Impact
The primary impact of this vulnerability is unauthorized modification of website content or settings by attackers exploiting authenticated users' sessions. This can lead to defacement, insertion of malicious content, or disruption of normal CMS operations. For organizations relying on QuickCMS 6.8, this could result in reputational damage, loss of user trust, and potential downstream impacts if malicious content is served to visitors. Since the vulnerability requires user interaction (visiting a malicious site) but no authentication beyond the victim's existing session, it is a moderate risk for organizations with users who have elevated privileges in QuickCMS. The lack of vendor response and patches increases the risk exposure duration. While no known exploits are reported, the vulnerability is straightforward to exploit, especially in targeted phishing or social engineering campaigns.
Mitigation Recommendations
Organizations should implement immediate compensating controls such as enforcing strict Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit the domains that can execute scripts or send requests on behalf of users. User education to avoid clicking suspicious links while logged into QuickCMS is critical. Administrators should consider restricting user privileges to the minimum necessary to reduce potential damage. If possible, isolate QuickCMS administrative access behind VPNs or IP allowlists to reduce exposure. Monitoring web server logs for unusual POST requests or referrers can help detect exploitation attempts. Since no official patches are available, organizations should evaluate upgrading to newer versions if and when they include CSRF protections or consider migrating to alternative CMS platforms with better security controls. Implementing web application firewalls (WAFs) with CSRF detection rules can also provide an additional layer of defense.
