Summary

The Ajax processor in the Carbon console fails to adequately protect state-changing operations from CSRF attacks. It uses HTTP GET, and the SameSite=Lax attribute is bypassed as it permits cookies with cross-origin top-level navigation requests. An attacker can trick an authenticated user into executing unintended actions.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can perform unauthorized state-altering requests on behalf of authenticated users, potentially leading to data modification or loss of account control. The attack is only feasible if the Carbon console is exposed to the public internet.

Recommendation

Apply CSRF protections, such as using CSRF tokens. As per WSO2 guidelines, do not expose the Carbon console to the public internet.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Ajax processor within the Carbon console fails to adequately protect state-changing operations from Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks. Specifically, it utilizes the HTTP GET method for these operations, and while the SameSite=Lax cookie attribute is employed for mitigation, this mechanism is bypassed as it permits cookies to be sent with cross-origin top-level navigation requests, including GET requests. This allows an attacker to trick an authenticated user's browser into unknowingly executing unintended actions. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform unauthorized state-altering requests on behalf of authenticated users. This could lead to consequences such as data modification, account changes, or other actions that could result in data compromise or loss of user control over their account. However, this attack is only feasible if the Carbon console and related services are exposed to the public internet, which is not recommended according to WSO2's security guidelines.
