🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider implementing CSRF tokens in /file/delete.php and other endpoints, or replace with a supported version if available.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Implement CSRF Protection
allAdd CSRF tokens to all form submissions and state-changing operations
Modify /file/delete.php to include and validate CSRF tokens
Restrict Access
allLimit access to vulnerable endpoints using web server rules
Add location block in nginx: location ~ /file/delete\.php$ { deny all; }
Add to Apache .htaccess: <Files "delete.php"> Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
</Files>
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict SameSite cookie policies and require re-authentication for sensitive actions
- Deploy WAF rules to detect and block CSRF patterns targeting /file/delete.php
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if /file/delete.php exists and accepts bid parameter without CSRF validation. Test by creating a simple HTML form that submits to this endpoint.Check Version:
Check application version in admin panel or readme files; no standard command available.Verify Fix Applied:
Verify that /file/delete.php now requires and validates a CSRF token, or that the endpoint is no longer accessible.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Multiple DELETE operations from same user in short time
- Requests to /file/delete.php with unusual referrers or without expected CSRF tokens
Network Indicators:
- HTTP POST requests to /file/delete.php with bid parameter from unexpected sources
