CSRF issue on preview pages in Bolt CMS

Published Jun 8, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Vendor: bolt Product: bolt Package: bolt Package: bolt/bolt Ecosystem: Azure Linux Ecosystem: Packagist

Description

Bolt CMS before version 3.7.1 lacked CSRF protection in the preview generating endpoint. Previews are intended to be generated by the admins, developers, chief-editors, and editors, who are authorized to create content in the application. But due to lack of proper CSRF protection, unauthorized users could generate a preview. This has been fixed in Bolt 3.7.1
