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 · unedited
Admidio is an open-source user management solution. In versions 5.0.0 through 5.0.6, the delete, activate, and deactivate modes in modules/groups-roles/groups_roles.php perform destructive state changes on organizational roles but never validate an anti-CSRF token. The client-side UI passes a CSRF token to callUrlHideElement(), which includes it in the POST body, but the server-side handlers ignore $_POST["adm_csrf_token"] entirely for these three modes. An attacker who can discover a role UUID (visible in the public cards view when the module is publicly accessible) can embed a forged POST form on any external page and trick any user with the rol_assign_roles right into deleting or toggling roles for the organization. Role deletion is permanent and cascades to all memberships, event associations, and rights data. If exploited, an attacker can trick any user with delegated role-assignment rights into permanently deleting roles, mass-revoking all associated memberships and access to events, documents, and mailing lists, or silently activating or deactivating entire groups, with target role UUIDs trivially harvested from the unauthenticated public cards view and no undo path short of a database restore. This issue has been fixed in version 5.0.7.

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.

How this class of weakness works · CWE-352

The application can't tell whether a state-changing request was genuinely intended by the user, so an attacker can trick a logged-in victim's browser into making it. That can transfer funds, change settings, or create accounts silently. Remediation is anti-CSRF tokens — or equivalent same-site protections — on every state-changing request.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 5.0.7 or later
Fixed in 5.0.7
Recommended fix High confidence

5.0.7

  1. Backup the Admidio installation and database before proceeding with any changes
  2. Download Admidio version 5.0.7 from the official repository or distribution channel
  3. Replace the existing application files with the version 5.0.7 files, following the standard upgrade procedure documented in Admidio's installation guide
  4. Verify that the application functions correctly after the upgrade
  5. Confirm that the CSRF token validation is now properly enforced for delete, activate, and deactivate operations in modules/groups-roles/groups_roles.php
