Technical details

The article history plugin in REDAXO fails to validate CSRF tokens on two state-changing actions: clearing all history snapshots (func=clearall) and restoring article snapshots (rex_history_function=snap). Both actions process GET requests via $_REQUEST without token validation, and REDAXO's default SameSite=Lax cookie policy allows cross-site GET requests to carry the victim's session cookie. An attacker needs only to lure a logged-in backend user to a malicious page; no user interaction beyond navigation is required.
