AI-suggested
Upgrade ChurchCRM to version 7.2.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed by adding proper CSRF token validation to the deletion endpoint. Until upgraded, restrict access to the deletion functionality to trusted users and avoid visiting untrusted links while authenticated as an administrator. Patch status is not explicitly stated but the vendor fixed the issue in version 7.2.0.
Description
ChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. In versions prior to 7.2.0, the family record deletion endpoint (SelectDelete.php) performs permanent, irreversible deletion of family records and all associated data via a plain GET request with no CSRF token validation. An attacker can craft a malicious page that, when visited by an authenticated administrator, silently triggers deletion of targeted family records including associated notes, pledges, persons, and property data without any user interaction. This issue has been fixed in version 7.2.0.
