Summary

EspoCRM before version 9.1.9 allows arbitrary user creation, including administrative accounts, through stored SVG injection combined with lack of CSRF protection. An attacker with Knowledge Base edit permissions can embed a malicious link that, when clicked by an authenticated user, executes a CSRF request to the api/v1/User endpoint.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could create an account with privileges determined by the CSRF payload, potentially leading to application compromise and data breach.

Recommendation

Update EspoCRM to version 9.1.9 or later. Restrict Knowledge Base edit permissions and educate users about clicking unknown links.

Original NVD description (English source)

EspoCRM is an open source customer relationship management application. In versions before 9.1.9, a vulnerability allows arbitrary user creation, including administrative accounts, through a combination of stored SVG injection and lack of CSRF protection. An attacker with Knowledge Base edit permissions can embed a malicious SVG element containing a link in the body field of an article. When an authenticated user clicks the malicious link, they are redirected to an attacker-controlled HTML page that executes a CSRF request against the api/v1/User endpoint. If the victim is prompted for and enters their credentials, an attacker-controlled account is created with privileges determined by the CSRF payload. This issue has been patched in version 9.1.9.
