Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 20/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.09% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: redaxo core 5.21.3.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to redaxo core 5.21.3 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

REDAXO before 5.21.3 contains a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in the structure/history plugin that allows attackers to delete history or roll back content via unvalidated GET requests. Attackers can lure logged-in backend users to a page triggering func=clearall or rex_history_function=snap, permanently deleting all article snapshots or reverting articles to earlier states.

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.
