CVE-2026-4971 Details
Description
A weakness has been identified in SourceCodester Note Taking App up to 1.0. This impacts an unknown function. This manipulation causes cross-site request forgery. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.
A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability exists in SourceCodester Note Taking App versions prior to 1.0. The issue is located in the note deletion functionality, specifically within the 'notes/delete.php' file. The application processes deletion requests via the HTTP GET method, using the 'id' parameter, without implementing any CSRF token validation or request origin verification. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to craft a malicious HTML page that, when visited by an authenticated user, silently sends a deletion request to the vulnerable endpoint. As a result, the victim's notes are permanently deleted without their knowledge or consent.
It is recommended to use POST requests for deletion operations, implement CSRF tokens on all state-changing requests, validate these tokens server-side before processing the requests, and add the SameSite attribute to session cookies.
