Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionGitHub Advisory
Admidio is an open-source user management solution. Prior to version 5.0.8, the inventory module's item_save endpoint accepts a user-controllable POST parameter imported that, when set to true, completely bypasses both CSRF token validation and server-side form validation. An authenticated user can craft a direct POST request to save arbitrary inventory item data without CSRF protection and without the field value checks that the FormPresenter validation normally enforces. This issue has been patched in version 5.0.8.
AnalysisAI
Admidio versions prior to 5.0.8 allow authenticated users to bypass CSRF token validation and server-side form validation in the inventory module's item_save endpoint by setting the imported POST parameter to true, enabling unauthorized modification of inventory item data without proper security checks. The vulnerability requires valid authentication but carries moderate impact due to the complete circumvention of two independent security controls.
Technical ContextAI
Admidio is an open-source user management and administrative system. The vulnerability exists in the inventory module's item_save endpoint, which implements form validation through a FormPresenter class that normally enforces field-level validation and CSRF token verification. The vulnerable code path recognizes a user-controllable imported parameter; when set to true, this parameter causes the endpoint to skip both CSRF token validation logic and the FormPresenter's value-checking mechanisms. This represents an improper input validation issue (CWE-20) where insufficient server-side checks on a control parameter allow attackers to bypass authentication and integrity controls that should apply uniformly to all requests. The vulnerability affects the Admidio application across versions before 5.0.8 (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:admidio:admidio:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*).
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Admidio 5.0.8. Administrators must upgrade to version 5.0.8 or later to remediate the vulnerability. The patch is confirmed via the GitHub commit 00494b95dfe847af8b938e4397e5d909d8f36839, which directly addresses the bypass by restoring proper CSRF token and form validation enforcement regardless of the imported parameter value. No interim workarounds that preserve full functionality are documented; therefore, upgrading to the patched version is the only supported remediation.
