CVE-2025-5766
📋 TL;DR
CVE-2025-5766 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in code-projects Laundry System 1.0 that allows attackers to trick authenticated users into performing unintended actions. This affects all users of the vulnerable software who have authenticated sessions. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without requiring direct access to the target system.
💻 Affected Systems
- code-projects Laundry System
📦 What is this software?
Simple Laundry System by Code Projects
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attackers could manipulate administrative functions to modify system settings, delete data, or create new administrative accounts, potentially leading to complete system compromise.
Likely Case
Attackers trick users into changing their own account settings, modifying laundry orders, or performing limited administrative actions within their permission scope.
If Mitigated
With proper CSRF protections, the vulnerability would be blocked, preventing unauthorized actions even if users click malicious links.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit details have been publicly disclosed on GitHub. Attack requires user interaction (clicking malicious link) but is technically simple to implement.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Not available
Vendor Advisory: Not available
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider implementing CSRF protections manually or migrating to alternative software.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Implement CSRF Tokens
allAdd anti-CSRF tokens to all state-changing forms and validate them server-side
SameSite Cookie Attribute
allSet SameSite=Strict or SameSite=Lax attributes on session cookies
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block CSRF patterns
- Educate users about phishing risks and implement strict access controls to limit damage
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if forms lack CSRF tokens or if session cookies lack SameSite attributes. Review application source code for CSRF protections.Check Version:
Check application configuration files or admin panel for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Test that all forms include unique CSRF tokens that are validated server-side. Verify cookies have SameSite attributes set.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Multiple state-changing requests from same user without corresponding GET requests
- Requests with missing or invalid CSRF tokens
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests with Referer headers pointing to external domains
- Suspicious POST requests to administrative endpoints
SIEM Query:
web_requests WHERE (method = 'POST' AND (referer_domain != current_domain OR csrf_token = null))
