CVE-2024-45264
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the admin panel in SkySystem Arfa-CMS before 5.1.3124 allows remote attackers to add a new administrator, leading to escalation of privileges.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceA CSRF vulnerability in the admin panel of SkySystem Arfa-CMS versions prior to 5.1.3124 allows remote attackers to trick authenticated administrators into unknowingly submitting requests that create new administrator accounts, achieving privilege escalation.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Determine installed Arfa-CMS versionAccess the admin panel typically at /admin or /administrator and look for an 'About' or 'System Info' page, or check version.php/VERSION.txt in the web rootAffected if The displayed version is below 5.1.3124
-
Verify admin panel accessibilityConfirm the admin panel endpoint is reachable and requires authenticationAffected if The admin panel is exposed and accepts authentication
-
Inspect admin HTML forms for CSRF protectionView the page source of a state-changing admin form (such as user creation or settings) and search for anti-CSRF tokens, hidden fields, or CSRF-related parametersAffected if The forms lack hidden CSRF token fields or any anti-CSRF mechanism (no token, no Referer/Origin checks)
-
Check session configuration for origin validationReview the application or web server configuration files for CSRF mitigation settings such as SameSite cookie attributes, Origin header validation, or custom CSRF middlewareAffected if No origin validation or SameSite cookie policies are configured for admin sessions
You are affected if your installed Arfa-CMS version is below 5.1.3124 AND the admin panel is accessible AND admin forms lack CSRF token protection.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped5.1.3124
Upgrade to version 5.1.3124 or later, and implement anti-CSRF tokens on all state-changing admin panel operations.
5.1.3124
- Backup the Arfa CMS database and files before any changes
- Download Arfa CMS version 5.1.3124 or later from the official vendor source
- Replace the existing Arfa CMS files with the new version
- Verify the upgrade was successful by accessing the admin panel
- Confirm the CSRF protection is now in place by checking admin functions
