Technical details

A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability exists in the JoomSky Js Jobs component (version 1.2.0 and earlier) for Joomla. The application fails to implement or validate anti-CSRF tokens for state-changing administrative functions. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious HTML page that, when visited by an authenticated administrator, triggers hidden requests to endpoints such as 'job.jobenforcedelete'. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to delete job entries or modify component configurations. The vulnerability was addressed in version 1.2.1.
