Technical details

A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability exists in `modules/plugins.php` because it performs state-changing operations (install, uninstall, update) using GET requests without validating CSRF tokens. Since these operations are triggered via top-level GET navigations, modern browsers include `SameSite=Lax` session cookies, allowing a cross-origin attacker to execute these actions if an authenticated administrator visits a malicious page. The `doUninstall()` function is particularly impactful as it executes SQL scripts that include `DROP TABLE` statements. The vulnerability is rooted in the lack of `SecurityUtils::validateCsrfToken()` calls in the affected component.
