How CVE-2025-31680 Works
This CSRF vulnerability in Drupal Matomo Analytics (versions before 1.24.0) allows attackers to trick authenticated users into executing unintended actions. Since Matomo Analytics handles tracking and analytics data, a malicious actor could forge requests to modify tracking configurations, inject false data, or manipulate analytics reports. The lack of proper anti-CSRF tokens enables unauthorized state changes when a logged-in admin visits a crafted webpage, leading to data integrity breaches.
