Summary

FOSSBilling from 0.1.0 before 0.8.9 contains a cross-site request forgery flaw in the staff guest login endpoint, tracked as CWE-352. The endpoint does not validate CSRF tokens or the Origin header, so a remote attacker can force a victim's browser to log in to the attacker's staff account. An attacker only needs to host an auto-submitting HTML form with attacker-controlled credentials and wait for a victim to visit the page.

Description from the CNA

FOSSBilling before 0.8.9 contains a Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability in the staff guest login endpoint (POST /api/guest/staff/login) that allows remote attackers to force authentication because checkGuestClientAuthentication() only allowlists client_login and client_create, leaving staff_login without CSRF or Origin validation. Attackers can host an auto-submitting HTML form with attacker-controlled credentials to silently log a victim's browser into the attacker's staff account.
