Published · Updated · NVD status: Deferred
What it is
Another site can make a signed-in user's browser send a request the user never meant to send. An action never checks whether the caller is allowed to perform it.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, without an account, but someone has to act first, such as opening a file or following a link.
What an attacker gains
The direct impact is limited: partial access to data or a partial outage. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker act inside a signed-in user's browser session.
Is it being exploited?
CISA's SSVC assessment notes a public proof of concept. EPSS estimates a 0.20% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 10% of scored CVEs.
What to do
- Upgrade Presenton to 0.9.12-beta or later.
- Until it is patched, keep it off the internet or behind a VPN, allowlist or authenticating proxy.
- Warn the people who use it, and filter files and links on the way in.

What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Web front ends and single-page apps. The flaw sits between a user's browser and the web application.
- Admin consoles served to a browser. The flaw sits between a user's browser and the web application.
- Permission checks in APIs and admin surfaces. The flaw sits between one role or tenant and another.
- Multi-tenant services. The flaw sits between one role or tenant and another.
Trust boundaries in play
- Internet-facing entry points. No account is needed. Any instance reachable from outside your perimeter, through a load balancer, gateway, VPN or exposed admin port, is in scope.
- People who open files and links. Mail, chat and browsers are the delivery path.
- Between a user's browser and the web application. An attacker who crosses it can act inside a signed-in user's browser session.
- Between one role or tenant and another. An attacker who crosses it can reach data or actions their role should not allow.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does Presenton run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
