{"id":"CVE-2025-68434","aliases":["EUVD-2025-204014","GHSA-wjm4-hfwg-5w5r"],"status":"published","title":"opensourcepos has Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability that leads to Unauthorized Administrator Creation","description":"Open Source Point of Sale (opensourcepos) is a web based point of sale application written in PHP using CodeIgniter framework. Starting in version 3.4.0 and prior to version 3.4.2, a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability exists in the application's filter configuration. The CSRF protection mechanism was **explicitly disabled**, allowing the application to process state-changing requests (POST) without verifying a valid CSRF token. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by hosting a malicious web page. If a logged-in administrator visits this page, their browser is forced to send unauthorized requests to the application. A successful exploit allows the attacker to silently create a new Administrator account with full privileges, leading to a complete takeover of the system and loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability has been patched in version 3.4.2. The fix re-enables the CSRF filter in `app/Config/Filters.php` and resolves associated AJAX race conditions by adjusting token regeneration settings. As a workaround, administrators can manually re-enable the CSRF filter in `app/Config/Filters.php` by uncommenting the protection line. However, this is not recommended without applying the full patch, as it may cause functionality breakage in the Sales module due to token synchronization issues.","severity":{"version":"3.1","score":8.8,"vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","level":"high","assessor":"cna","from":"cve"},"epss":{"day":"2026-11-09","score":0.00281,"percentile":0.2077,"model":"v2026.06.15"},"facts":{"in_kev":false,"known_exploited":false,"public_exploit":true,"fix_available":false},"cwes":["CWE-352"],"published":"2025-12-17T22:20:12Z","modified":"2026-11-05T21:30:54Z","exploits":[{"source":"pocgithub","id":"Nixon-H/CVE-2025-68434-OSPOS-CSRF","title":"Nixon-H/CVE-2025-68434-OSPOS-CSRF","date":"2025-12-17","url":"https://github.com/Nixon-H/CVE-2025-68434-OSPOS-CSRF"}],"products":[{"vendor":"opensourcepos","product":"open_source_point_of_sale"},{"vendor":"opensourcepos","product":"opensourcepos"}],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/opensourcepos/opensourcepos/security/advisories/GHSA-wjm4-hfwg-5w5r","tags":["x_refsource_CONFIRM","exploit","Exploit","Vendor Advisory","advisory"]},{"url":"https://github.com/opensourcepos/opensourcepos/pull/4349","tags":["x_refsource_MISC","Issue Tracking","fix"]},{"url":"https://github.com/opensourcepos/opensourcepos/commit/d575c8da9a1d7af8313a1e758e000e243f5614ef","tags":["x_refsource_MISC","Patch","fix"]},{"url":"https://github.com/Nixon-H/CVE-2025-68434-OSPOS-CSRF-Unauthorized-Administrator-Creation","tags":["x_refsource_MISC","exploit","Exploit","Third Party Advisory","package"]},{"url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2025/68xxx/CVE-2025-68434.json","tags":["advisory"]},{"url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-68434","tags":["advisory"]}],"sources":{"cve":[{"id":"CVE-2025-68434","title":"opensourcepos has Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability that leads to Unauthorized Administrator Creation","description":"Open Source Point of Sale (opensourcepos) is a web based point of sale application written in PHP using CodeIgniter framework.
