Summary

The Gridbox extension for Joomla before 2.20.4.0 has a cross-site request forgery flaw (CWE-352) in its language installation feature. The addLanguage action accepts GET requests without checking the session token, so an unauthenticated remote attacker can make a logged-in user with the core.tools permission trigger a language installation. The attack requires the victim to interact with a crafted page.

Description from the CNA

Joomla Extension - balbooa.com - CSRF in language installation feature Gridbox < 2.20.4.0 - PagesController uses a trait that validates the Joomla session token only when the HTTP method is POST. addLanguage does not require POST inside the action and reads url and zip through the generic request input. A GET request can therefore reach the action without the trait checking a token. The action still requires core.tools , but that is the victim’s permission check; it does not prove that the privileged user intended the request.
