Description

Cross Site Request Forgery vulnerability in ProcessWire v.3.0.229 allows a remote attacker to insert a comment. NOTE: this is disputed by the Supplier because the product intentionally accepts anonymous, unauthenticated comments and thus there are fewer situations in which CSRF would be a useful attack technique. Also, the submitted comments are, by default, held for moderator review.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is high, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. A user must be tricked into taking some action. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality low, integrity low, availability none.
