CVE-2025-55057

4.5 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

This CVE describes a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability that allows attackers to trick authenticated users into performing unintended actions on web applications. It affects systems with web interfaces that lack proper CSRF protections. Users who access vulnerable applications while authenticated are at risk.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Specific products not identified in provided reference
Versions: Version information not specified in provided reference
Operating Systems: Any OS running vulnerable web applications
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Affects web applications with state-changing operations that lack CSRF protections. The provided reference link does not specify exact products.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Attackers could perform administrative actions like changing configurations, creating new accounts, or modifying data on behalf of authenticated users.

🟠

Likely Case

Attackers trick users into changing their own settings or performing limited actions within their privilege scope.

🟢

If Mitigated

Proper CSRF tokens and same-origin policies prevent exploitation, limiting impact to theoretical.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Web applications exposed to the internet are directly accessible to attackers for CSRF attempts.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal users could still be targeted via phishing or compromised internal sites.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: LOW

CSRF attacks typically require user interaction (visiting malicious page while authenticated) but are technically simple to implement.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Not specified

Vendor Advisory: https://www.gov.il/en/departments/dynamiccollectors/cve_advisories_listing?skip=0

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Check the provided advisory link for specific vendor patches. 2. Apply vendor-recommended updates if available. 3. For custom applications, implement CSRF tokens and validate same-origin headers.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Implement CSRF Tokens

all

Add unique, unpredictable tokens to all state-changing forms and validate them server-side

SameSite Cookie Attribute

all

Set SameSite=Strict or Lax on session cookies to prevent cross-site requests

Set-Cookie: session=abc123; SameSite=Strict; Secure; HttpOnly

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block CSRF patterns
  • Require re-authentication for sensitive operations and use multi-step confirmation for state changes

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test web forms for missing CSRF tokens using browser developer tools or automated scanners like OWASP ZAP

Check Version:

Check application version through admin interface or version files specific to the software

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify that all POST/PUT/DELETE requests include validated CSRF tokens and check cookie SameSite attributes

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Multiple failed state-changing requests from same user with missing/rejected tokens
  • Unusual parameter patterns in form submissions

Network Indicators:

  • State-changing requests (POST/PUT/DELETE) lacking Referer headers or CSRF tokens
  • Requests originating from unexpected domains

SIEM Query:

web_requests method=POST AND (NOT csrf_token=*) OR (referer NOT CONTAINS "yourdomain.com")
