pathanchor/views/users/edit.php↗

→The application uses HTTP GET requests to perform sensitive/destructive actions (user deletion), making CSRF exploitation trivial via a crafted HTML page (exploit.html). Monitor for GET requests to user-deletion endpoints. ↗
→CSRF attack targets admin user deletion functionality; look for unauthenticated or cross-origin GET requests to Anchor CMS user management endpoints (e.g., paths containing user IDs for deletion). ↗

·Anchor CMS 0.12.7 lacks CSRF token protection on sensitive GET-based actions, meaning no token validation is enforced for destructive operations like user deletion. ↗
