DescriptionCVE.org

MyBB is free and open source forum software. Prior to 1.8.40, the ACP Users View Manager module does not validate requests correctly, allowing same-site attackers to change a victim administrator's default user list view by embedding a specially crafted URL. The Set as Default control named set_default in Admin CP, Users & Groups, Users, View Manager changes the administrator's default view on GET requests without request forgery protection. The uniquely identifying implementation details include Users & Groups → Users → View Manager, and admin/inc/functions_view_manager.php. This issue is fixed in version 1.8.40.

AnalysisAI

Cross-site request forgery in MyBB's Admin Control Panel View Manager allows same-site attackers to silently change an administrator's default user list view by tricking the admin into visiting a specially crafted URL. All MyBB installations prior to version 1.8.40 are affected; the root cause is the set_default action in admin/inc/functions_view_manager.php accepting state-changing GET requests without CSRF token validation. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires: (1) the attacker has same-site presence, meaning they can serve content - such as a forum post, private message, or profile signature - that the target administrator will load while authenticated in the MyBB Admin CP; (2) the victim administrator must actively click or otherwise trigger the crafted URL or embedded resource; (3) the administrator's ACP session cookie must be active at the time of the request. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The overall risk is low. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation The primary fix is to upgrade MyBB to version 1.8.40, which adds CSRF token verification to the set_default action in admin/inc/functions_view_manager.php; the patched release is available at https://mybb.com/versions/1.8.40 and https://github.com/mybb/mybb/releases/tag/mybb_1840. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
