Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in ProcessWire (CVE-2024-41597)
Summary
Vulnerability in ProcessWire (CVE-2024-41597). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Cross Site Request Forgery vulnerability in ProcessWire v.3.0.229 allows a remote attacker to insert a comment. NOTE: this is disputed by the Supplier because the product intentionally accepts anonymous, unauthenticated comments and thus there are fewer situations in which CSRF would be a useful attack technique. Also, the submitted comments are, by default, held for moderator review.
