5.4 MEDIUM

Network-delivered CSRF requires passive user interaction (UI:R); attacker needs no privileges; integrity impact is folder metadata only; confidentiality impact reflects indirect exposure of files in a newly-public folder.

DescriptionCVE.org

Cotonti 1.0.0 (master branch, commit f43f1fc3) is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in the Personal File Storage (PFS) module. In modules/pfs/inc/pfs.editfolder.php, the folder update action ('a=update') updates folder metadata (title, description, public/gallery flags) without calling cot_check_xg() to validate the anti-CSRF token. A remote attacker who lures an authenticated user into visiting a malicious page can force the browser to submit a forged request that modifies the victim's folder metadata, including making a private folder public.

AnalysisAI

Cross-site request forgery in Cotonti 1.0.0's Personal File Storage module allows remote attackers to hijack authenticated user sessions to silently modify folder metadata. The folder update action ('a=update') in modules/pfs/inc/pfs.editfolder.php processes state-changing requests without invoking Cotonti's built-in anti-CSRF token validation function cot_check_xg(), enabling an attacker to force a logged-in user to unknowingly expose private folders or alter their descriptions. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Attacker identifies target Cotonti instance with PFS enabled
Delivery
Crafts malicious page with auto-submitting forged folder-update form
Exploit
Delivers phishing link to authenticated Cotonti user
Execution
Victim browser submits forged POST request with session cookie
Persist
Server processes update without CSRF token validation
Impact
Victim's private folder metadata modified or exposed publicly

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The victim must be authenticated to a Cotonti instance that has the PFS (Personal File Storage) module enabled - this module is not guaranteed to be active in all deployments, which limits the exploitable population. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment CVSS 3.1 scores this at 5.4 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker crafts a hidden HTML form on a malicious webpage that auto-submits a POST request to the victim's Cotonti instance, targeting the PFS module's folder update endpoint with parameters that set the public flag to true on a specific folder ID. The attacker delivers a phishing link to a Cotonti user who is currently authenticated, and when that user's browser loads the malicious page, it silently submits the forged request, causing the victim's private folder - and any files within it - to become publicly accessible without any indication to the victim. …
Remediation No vendor-released patched version has been identified from the available data - the provided references link only to the vulnerable source file and the upstream GitHub repository, not to a fix commit, advisory, or tagged release. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
