CVE-2026-55741
HighCVSS 8.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk7th percentile - higher than 7% of all known CVEs
Summary
Cotonti 1.0.0 is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in the administration configuration handler. The configuration update action ('a=update') processes POST data via cot_config_update_options without calling cot_check_xg to validate the anti-CSRF token (the 'x' parameter), unlike other admin handlers.
Risk Assessment
CSRF attack may allow unauthorized configuration changes by a logged-in administrator, potentially leading to full application compromise.
Recommendation
Add a cot_check_xg call to the configuration update action in system/admin/admin.config.php to validate the anti-CSRF token.
Other vulnerabilities in Cotonti
See all- CVE-2026-55742Critical
Cotonti 1.0.0 (master branch, commit f43f1fc3) is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in the administration rights handler. In system/admin/admin.rights.php, the rights update action ('a=update') modifies group access rights (including via cot_auth_add_group) without calling cot_check_xg to validate the anti-CSRF token.
- CVE-2026-55746High
Cotonti 1.0.0 is vulnerable to stored Cross-Site Scripting in the Personal File Storage (PFS) module. A folder title (pff_title) is imported with the 'TXT' filter, which does not strip or encode HTML (the tag check in cot_import is disabled), so an authenticated user can store HTML/JavaScript in a folder title.
- CVE-2026-55745Medium
Cotonti 1.0.0 is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in the Personal File Storage (PFS) module. In modules/pfs/inc/pfs.editfolder.php, the folder update action ('a=update') updates folder metadata without calling cot_check_xg to validate the anti-CSRF token.
- CVE-2026-55744High
Cotonti 1.0.0 is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in the Personal File Storage (PFS) module. The file upload action ('a=upload') processes uploaded files without calling cot_check_xg to validate the anti-CSRF token, even though sibling actions such as 'delete' do.
