CVE-2026-100524
Cotonti through 1.0.0 contains a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in the extensions manager that allows attackers to perform state-changing actions without anti-CSRF token validation. Attackers can craft links or embed images to force administrators to install, update, pause, or unpause extensions by tricking them into visiting a malicious page while authenticated.
What this means for your business
- An attacker can use it remotely, over a network, without a login, but only after tricking someone into an action such as opening a file or a link.
- FIRST's prediction model gives it a 0.1% chance of attack attempts being seen in the next 30 days, ranking above 1% of all known flaws.
What to do
- 1Ask your IT team or provider whether any of your systems use the affected product.
- 2If you do, follow the vendor's guidance. No patch reference has been published yet.
