Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in Zenoss 2.3.3, and other versions before 2.5, allow remote attackers to hijack
Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in Zenoss 2.3.3, and other versions before 2.5, allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of an administrator for (1) requests that reset user passwords via zport/dmd/ZenUsers/admin, and (2) requests that change user commands, which allows for remote execution of system commands via zport/dmd/userCommands/.

Remediation
Which version to upgrade to
Fix versions compiled from the vendor, package registries and Microsoft. Verify the vendor's note before upgrading.
No fix version is recorded for this entry. Check the references for vendor advisories.
Exploit status
Proof of concept available
A public proof of concept or detection signature exists. Exploit knowledge is out there; don't delay patching.

No nightly-computed relations.
Chain candidates
An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.

Weakness class (CWE)
CWE-352 · Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)CVSS vector
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
nvd-primary
Root cause
State-changing requests rely on the session cookie the browser sends automatically; nothing verifies that the request came from the user’s own page.
The bug in code
The whole CWE-352 classA representative example of this vulnerability class. Not the vendor's source code; it shows the faulty pattern and its fix.

MITRE CAPEC attack patterns and ATT&CK techniques for this weakness class (CWE). A starting point for detection rules and threat hunting.
