# Exploit Title: Grocy <= 4.0.2 CSRF Vulnerability # Application: Grocy # Version: <= 4.0.2 # Date: 09/21/2023 # Exploit Author: Chance Proctor # Vendor Homepage: https://grocy.info/ # Software Link: https://github.com/grocy/grocy # Tested on: Linux # CVE : CVE-2023-42270 Overview ================================================== When creating a new user in Grocy 4.0.2, the new user request is made using JSON formatting. This makes it easy to adjust your request since it is a known format. There is also no CSRF Token or other methods of verification in place to verify where the request is coming from. This allows for html code to generate a new user as long as the target is logged in and has Create User Permissions. Proof of Concept ================================================== Host the following html code via a XSS or delivery via a phishing campaign:
If a user is logged into the Grocy Webapp at time of execution, a new user will be created in the app with the following credentials Username: hacker Password: test Note: In order for this to work, the target must have Create User Permissions. This is enabled by default. Proof of Exploit/Reproduce ================================================== http://xploit.sh/posts/cve-2023-42270/
