CVE-2025-25769
📋 TL;DR
This CSRF vulnerability in Wangmarket v4.10 to v5.0 allows attackers to trick authenticated users into performing unintended actions via malicious requests to the UserController component. Attackers could modify user accounts, change permissions, or perform other administrative functions without the user's knowledge. All users running affected versions are vulnerable if they visit malicious sites while authenticated.

📦 What is this software?
Wangmarket by Wang.market
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete account takeover, privilege escalation to administrator, or unauthorized modification of all user accounts and system settings.
Likely Case
Attackers modify victim user profiles, change passwords, or alter permissions to gain unauthorized access to sensitive functions.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper CSRF tokens and same-origin policies in place, though some risk remains from sophisticated attacks.
🎯 Exploit Status
Requires social engineering to trick authenticated users into visiting malicious pages. No authentication bypass needed.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: v5.1 or later
Vendor Advisory: https://flowus.cn/share/56c86622-1e4d-47ed-923c-9e37aff00079
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Download Wangmarket v5.1 or later from official sources. 2. Backup current installation. 3. Replace affected files with patched versions. 4. Verify CSRF protection is enabled in configuration.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Implement CSRF Tokens
allAdd anti-CSRF tokens to all state-changing requests in UserController and validate them server-side.
Modify UserController.java to include CSRF token validation
SameSite Cookie Attribute
allSet SameSite=Strict or Lax attributes on session cookies to prevent cross-site requests.
Configure application server to set SameSite cookie attributes
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block CSRF patterns
- Require re-authentication for sensitive operations and implement double-submit cookie pattern
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if Wangmarket version is between v4.10 and v5.0 inclusive, and verify if UserController endpoints lack CSRF protection.Check Version:
Check application.properties or version file in Wangmarket installation directoryVerify Fix Applied:
Test that all UserController endpoints now require and validate CSRF tokens, and verify version is v5.1 or later.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
