Technical details

A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability exists in Concrete CMS versions 9.0.0RC1 through 9.5.0 within the 'concrete/controllers/dialog/page/bulk/cache' component. The application fails to properly validate CSRF tokens for requests handled by this controller. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by enticing a privileged user to visit a specially crafted webpage. If successful, the attacker can execute bulk cache management operations in the context of the victim's session. The issue is resolved in version 9.5.1.
