Summary

MyBB prior to 1.8.40, the ACP Users View Manager module does not validate requests correctly, allowing same-site attackers to change a victim administrator's default user list view by embedding a specially crafted URL. The Set as Default control changes the administrator's default view on GET requests without request forgery protection.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can change the administrator's default view, potentially leading to interface manipulation and further attacks.

Recommendation

Update MyBB to version 1.8.40 or later, which includes the request validation fix.
