Executive Summary

Admidio 3.3.5 contains a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability that allows low-privilege users to increase their permissions by exploiting improper origin checking.

Attackers can craft malicious HTML forms targeting the roles_function.php script with parameters such as rol_assign_roles, rol_approve_users, and rol_edit_user set to 1, enabling them to escalate their privileges without authentication.
