CST-7052 Multiple CSRF vulnerability in 7.0 CE GA6

Description

Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to execute unwanted actions in the portal.

Workaround:

Remove the following lines from the 'auth.token.ignore.actions' portal property:

/blogs/edit_entry,\
/blogs_aggregator/edit_entry,\
/document_library/edit_file_entry,\
/message_boards/edit_message,\
/portal/comment/edit_discussion,\ 

Removing the above paths will disable the following features:

  • Blog entry drafts and Wiki page drafts will no longer be automatically saved when the user's session expires
  • Unauthenticated users will no longer be able to add a message in the Message Boards or add comments in the various apps that support comments.

To keep using these features, the above paths must be re-added after upgrading to a patched version of the portal.
