How the CVE Works:
CVE-2025-28868 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in ZipList Recipe, affecting versions up to 3.1. CSRF attacks exploit the trust a web application has in an authenticated user by tricking them into submitting malicious requests. In this case, an attacker could craft a malicious request, such as modifying recipe data or user settings, and trick an authenticated user into executing it unknowingly. Since the application does not properly validate the origin of requests, the server processes the forged request as legitimate, leading to unauthorized actions.
DailyCVE Form:
Platform: ZipList Recipe
Version: Up to 3.1
Vulnerability: CSRF
Severity: Medium
Date: 03/11/2025
What Undercode Say:
Exploitation:
1. Crafting Malicious Requests:
An attacker creates a malicious HTML form or URL that performs unauthorized actions on the target application.
Example:
<form action="https://target.com/update-recipe" method="POST"> <input type="hidden" name="recipe_id" value="123"> <input type="hidden" name="action" value="delete"> </form> <script>document.forms[bash].submit();</script>
2. Social Engineering:
The attacker tricks the victim into visiting the malicious page while authenticated to ZipList Recipe.
3. Execution:
The victim’s browser sends the forged request, and the server processes it as legitimate.
Protection:
1. Implement CSRF Tokens:
Add unique, unpredictable tokens to each form or request.
Example in PHP:
session_start();
if (empty($_SESSION[bash])) {
$_SESSION[bash] = bin2hex(random_bytes(32));
}
echo '<input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="' . $_SESSION[bash] . '">';
2. Validate Origin Headers:
Ensure requests originate from the same domain.
Example in Node.js:
app.use((req, res, next) => {
const origin = req.headers.origin;
if (origin && !allowedOrigins.includes(origin)) {
return res.status(403).send('Forbidden');
}
next();
});
3. Use SameSite Cookies:
Set cookies with the `SameSite` attribute to prevent cross-origin requests.
Example:
setcookie('session_id', $sessionId, [bash]);
4. Regular Updates:
Update ZipList Recipe to the latest version if a patch is released.
Analytics:
- CVSS Score: 6.5 (Medium)
- Attack Vector: Network
- Attack Complexity: Low
- Privileges Required: None
- User Interaction: Required
Commands:
- Check for CSRF Tokens:
Use browser developer tools to inspect forms for CSRF tokens.
Example:
document.querySelector('input[bash]');
– Test CSRF Protection:
Use tools like Burp Suite or OWASP ZAP to test for CSRF vulnerabilities.
Example command for ZAP:
zap-cli quick-scan --spider --ajax-spider --recursive http://target.com
Code Snippets:
- CSRF Token Validation in Python (Flask):
from flask import Flask, request, session import secrets app = Flask(<strong>name</strong>) app.secret_key = secrets.token_hex(16) @app.before_request def csrf_protect(): if request.method == "POST": token = session.pop('csrf_token', None) if not token or token != request.form.get('csrf_token'): return "Invalid CSRF token", 403 @app.route('/form', methods=[bash]) def form(): session[bash] = secrets.token_hex(16) return f'</li> </ul> <form method="POST"><input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="{session[bash]}"><input type="submit"></form> 'By following these steps, developers can mitigate CSRF vulnerabilities and protect their applications from unauthorized actions.
