CVE-2026-1745
📋 TL;DR
This vulnerability allows attackers to perform Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks against the Medical Certificate Generator App 1.0, enabling unauthorized deletion of medical certificates. Remote attackers can exploit this when users are tricked into visiting malicious websites while authenticated to the application. Organizations using this software are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- SourceCodester Medical Certificate Generator App
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete loss of medical certificate data integrity through mass deletion, potential service disruption, and data manipulation affecting patient care documentation.
Likely Case
Unauthorized deletion of individual medical certificates, requiring data restoration efforts and potential compliance violations.
If Mitigated
No impact if proper CSRF protections are implemented or if the application is not internet-facing with strict access controls.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit requires user authentication and interaction with malicious content. Public proof-of-concept demonstrates arbitrary certificate deletion.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: None found
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider implementing CSRF tokens, upgrading if newer version exists, or replacing with alternative software.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Implement CSRF Protection
allAdd anti-CSRF tokens to all state-changing requests and validate them server-side.
Restrict Application Access
allLimit application access to trusted networks only and implement strict authentication requirements.
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Deploy web application firewall with CSRF protection rules
- Isolate application to internal network only with strict access controls
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if application is SourceCodester Medical Certificate Generator App version 1.0. Review source code for missing CSRF tokens on deletion endpoints.Check Version:
Check application configuration files or admin interface for version information.Verify Fix Applied:
Test that all state-changing requests require and validate CSRF tokens. Verify deletion endpoints reject requests without proper tokens.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Multiple medical certificate deletion requests from same user in short timeframe
- Deletion requests without corresponding user interface interactions
Network Indicators:
- HTTP POST requests to certificate deletion endpoints without Referer header validation
- Requests with predictable parameters
SIEM Query:
