3DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was found in CodeAstro Human Resource Management System 1.0. Impacted is an unknown function. The manipulation results in cross-site request forgery. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.
AnalysisAI
Cross-site request forgery in CodeAstro Human Resource Management System 1.0 enables remote attackers to perform unauthorized state-changing actions - specifically department deletion - by tricking an authenticated user into visiting a crafted malicious page. The exploit targets the department deletion endpoint and publicly available proof-of-concept code has been published on GitHub, lowering the bar for exploitation. No active exploitation has been confirmed by CISA KEV, but the combination of a public PoC, network-accessible attack vector, and no required attacker privileges makes this an accessible target for opportunistic attackers against organizations running this software.
Technical ContextAI
CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery) arises when a web application processes state-changing HTTP requests without verifying that the request originated from the legitimate user session, rather than a forged third-party request. In this case, the department deletion endpoint in CodeAstro Human Resource Management System 1.0 (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:codeastro:human_resource_management_system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) lacks CSRF token validation, meaning any page on the internet can craft a form that submits a deletion request using the victim's browser cookies. The CVSS 4.0 vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P confirms the attack is network-reachable, requires no attacker-side authentication, has no special attack complexity, but does require the victim to interact with attacker-controlled content. CodeAstro is a PHP-based HR management product, likely built without a security-conscious framework enforcing automatic CSRF protection.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch or fixed version has been identified at time of analysis; patch status is unknown as no advisory was found at https://codeastro.com/. Organizations running CodeAstro Human Resource Management System 1.0 should implement the following compensating controls: first, deploy a web application firewall (WAF) with CSRF protection rules to intercept forged cross-origin POST requests to the department deletion endpoint - trade-off is potential false positives on legitimate requests. Second, restrict administrative HR functions to a VPN or allowlisted IP range to reduce the attack surface, accepting reduced accessibility for remote staff. Third, enforce strict browser security headers including SameSite=Strict on session cookies, which prevents cookies from being sent in cross-origin requests and effectively neutralizes CSRF in modern browsers - verify the application server supports this without breaking functionality. The GitHub PoC (https://github.com/ashikmd0507/CVE/tree/main/CSRF%20in%20Department%20Deletion%20Endpoint) can be used to confirm whether a deployed instance remains vulnerable after mitigations are applied.
