CVE-2026-78358 Details
Description
Several administrative actions do not sufficiently validate whether a request was intentionally initiated by the authenticated user. In particular, the DBUpdateLogCleanUp action can be triggered through a GET request without validating a ChallengeToken. An unauthenticated remote attacker can therefore cause the browser of an authenticated administrator to execute the cleanup action by embedding a crafted request in a malicious web page. Successful exploitation can delete existing DBUpdate log entries. This may reduce the availability of diagnostic and historical information used for troubleshooting and auditing. The impact is limited to DBUpdate log entries that exist at the time the forged request is processed. Additional administrative endpoints were identified that do not validate a ChallengeToken. Some of these endpoints can trigger administrative actions such as deploying or synchronizing already existing configuration. They do not allow an attacker to introduce arbitrary new configuration through the CSRF request itself. Export and read-only endpoints were also identified without ChallengeToken validation. While these endpoints may be triggered through a forged cross-site request, the response content remains subject to the browser's same-origin restrictions and is not automatically exposed to the attacker. Therefore, no direct confidentiality impact has been demonstrated for these endpoints. This issue affects OTRS: * 7.0.X * 8.0.X * 2023.X * 2024.X * 2025.X * 2026.X before 2026.7.X Please note that ((OTRS)) Community Edition 6.x and before are vulnerable. Products based on the ((OTRS)) Community Edition also very likely to be affected
A cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability has been identified in OTRS versions 7.0.X, 8.0.X, 2023.X, 2024.X, 2025.X, and 2026.X prior to 2026.7.X. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to manipulate the browser of an authenticated administrator to perform certain administrative actions without proper validation. Specifically, the 'DBUpdateLogCleanUp' action can be triggered via a GET request, bypassing the necessary ChallengeToken validation. Exploitation of this vulnerability can result in the deletion of DBUpdate log entries, potentially hindering troubleshooting and auditing processes. Additionally, other administrative endpoints lacking ChallengeToken validation were found, some of which can execute actions like deploying or synchronizing existing configurations. While export and read-only endpoints without ChallengeToken validation were also identified, they do not pose a direct confidentiality risk as their response content is restricted by the browser's same-origin policy.
Users are advised to update to OTRS version 2026.7.1 or later. Note that there will be no patches for OTRS 7.
