Description
Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in the addAction and purgeAction functions in ViMbAdmin 3.0.15 allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of logged administrators to (1) add an administrator user via a crafted POST request to <vimbadmin directory>/application/controllers/DomainController.php, (2) remove an administrator user via a crafted GET request to <vimbadmin directory>/application/controllers/DomainController.php, (3) change an administrator password via a crafted POST request to <vimbadmin directory>/application/controllers/DomainController.php, (4) add a mailbox via a crafted POST request to <vimbadmin directory>/application/controllers/MailboxController.php, (5) delete a mailbox via a crafted POST request to <vimbadmin directory>/application/controllers/MailboxController.php, (6) archive a mailbox address via a crafted GET request to <vimbadmin directory>/application/controllers/ArchiveController.php, (7) add an alias address via a crafted POST request to <vimbadmin directory>/application/controllers/AliasController.php, or (8) remove an alias address via a crafted GET request to <vimbadmin directory>/application/controllers/AliasController.php.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for opensolutions/vimbadmin, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
The records we use list no patched version of opensolutions/vimbadmin for CVE-2017-6086. Check the maintainer's advisory, and where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
