CVE-2026-42543: CWE-650: Trusting HTTP Permission Methods on the Server Side in dfir-iris iris-web
IRIS is a web collaborative platform that helps incident responders share technical details during investigations. Versions prior to 2.4.28 are vulnerable to a cross-site request forgery attack, because they use the HTTP method `GET` to change state on the server. Version 2.4.28 contains a patch.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The dfir-iris iris-web platform before version 2.4.28 is vulnerable to a CSRF attack because it uses the HTTP GET method to perform state-changing operations on the server side. This vulnerability is classified under CWE-650, which concerns trusting HTTP permission methods improperly. The vulnerability allows an attacker to potentially induce a user to execute unintended actions by exploiting the unsafe use of GET requests. Version 2.4.28 includes a patch that corrects this behavior by presumably restricting state changes to appropriate HTTP methods.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability can lead to unauthorized state changes on the server when a user is tricked into making a GET request that changes data. The impact is limited to integrity loss without confidentiality or availability impact, as reflected by the CVSS vector (C:N/I:L/A:N). There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade to dfir-iris iris-web version 2.4.28 or later, which contains the patch addressing this vulnerability. Since the vendor has released a fixed version, applying this update is the recommended remediation. Patch status is confirmed by the version information in the advisory.
