CVE-2025-34133
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 · uneditedWimi Teamwork versions prior to 7.38.17 contains a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in its API. The API accepts any authenticated request that contains a JSON field named 'csrf_token' without validating the field’s value; only the presence of the field is checked. An attacker can craft a cross-site request that causes a logged-in victim’s browser to submit a JSON POST containing an arbitrary or empty 'csrf_token', and the API will execute the request with the victim’s privileges. Successful exploitation can allow an attacker to perform privileged actions as the victim potentially resulting in account takeover, privilege escalation, or service disruption.
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 confidenceWimi Teamwork versions before 7.38.17 have a CSRF vulnerability where the API only checks for the presence of a 'csrf_token' JSON field in authenticated requests without validating the token's actual value. An attacker can exploit this by tricking a logged-in victim's browser into sending a crafted JSON POST request with an arbitrary or empty csrf_token value, causing the API to execute the request with the victim's privileges.

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.
-
Identify Wimi Teamwork installed versionLocate the version information in the application's admin panel, about page, or check the software installation directory for a version file. Common paths include settings pages, footer information, or configuration files in the installation directory.Affected if The installed version is below 7.38.17 (e.g., 7.38.0, 7.37.5, etc.)
-
Verify API endpoint accessibilityConfirm that the Wimi Teamwork API endpoints are accessible from the network where potential victims would browse. Check web server configuration or firewall rules for paths like /api/ or /rest/Affected if API endpoints are exposed and reachable by user browsers
-
Test CSRF token validation behaviorSend an authenticated JSON POST request to an API endpoint with an intentionally invalid or empty 'csrf_token' value in the JSON body. Observe whether the request is accepted and processed despite the invalid token.Affected if The API accepts and processes requests with arbitrary or empty csrf_token values without rejecting them
-
Check session token configurationInspect the application's session or authentication configuration to determine how csrf_token is generated, stored, and validated. Look for code that checks only for field presence (if access to source or config is available).Affected if The validation logic only checks for csrf_token field existence rather than validating the token value against the expected session token
A user is affected if running any Wimi Teamwork version before 7.38.17 and the API accepts JSON requests with invalid or missing CSRF token values while still executing them with the victim's privileges.

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 · scopedImplement proper server-side validation of the csrf_token value (not just presence) against the expected token for the user's session, and upgrade to version 7.38.17 or later.
Version 7.38.17
- Identify the currently installed Wimi Teamwork version by checking the application dashboard, about page, or configuration files
- Backup all Wimi Teamwork data, including databases, configurations, and user files, following standard backup procedures
- Upgrade Wimi Teamwork to version 7.38.17 or later, following the vendor's documented upgrade process
- After upgrading, verify the CSRF protection is working by confirming the API now validates the csrf_token value rather than just its presence
- Test critical functionality to ensure the upgrade did not introduce regressions
