Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionGitHub Advisory
e107 is a content management system (CMS). Prior to 2.3.5, e107 CMS does not properly enforce CSRF token validation on comment moderation actions. The problem comes down to how session_handler::check() handles CSRF tokens. Instead of requiring a token on every state-changing request, it only validates the token if one happens to be present. If there is no token at all, the check is skipped entirely. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.3.5.
AnalysisAI
CSRF protection bypass in e107 CMS prior to 2.3.5 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to perform unauthorized comment moderation actions by tricking an authenticated user into visiting a malicious page. The root flaw is in session_handler::check(), which skips CSRF token validation entirely when no token is submitted, rather than rejecting the tokenless request - effectively making CSRF protection opt-in from the attacker's perspective. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The victim must be an authenticated e107 user with comment moderation privileges and must have an active session at the time of exploitation. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 6.5 score (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) reflects meaningful integrity impact - an attacker can manipulate comment moderation without any account of their own - but the UI:R component is a critical limiting factor: exploitation requires social engineering an authenticated moderator into visiting an attacker-controlled page while their session is active. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker hosts a webpage containing a hidden HTML form that submits a POST request to the target e107 site's comment moderation endpoint, deliberately omitting the CSRF token field. The attacker lures an authenticated e107 comment moderator to visit this page - via phishing email or a malicious link. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade to e107 version 2.3.5, which contains the vendor-released fix for this vulnerability as confirmed by the GitHub advisory GHSA-m4hh-m278-jwg5. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
