Technical details
The vulnerability is a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) flaw in REDAXO's backend that processes the safemode GET parameter (index.php?safemode=0 or safemode=1) without validating a CSRF token. An unauthenticated attacker can craft a link that, when visited by a logged-in administrator, toggles safe mode; the attack works because the session cookie uses default SameSite=Lax. Exploitation requires an administrator to be logged in and the installation to not be in live mode; an attacker gains the ability to disable global safe mode settings or disable addons within a session, with no privilege escalation or data confidentiality impact.
Affected products
- REDAXO core before 5.21.5
