Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in index.php in Simple Machines Forum (SMF) 1.0 before 1.0.15 and 1.1 before 1.1.7 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of admins for requests that install packages via the package parameter in an install2 action.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE affects old Simple Machines Forum versions. A malicious site could cause a logged-in forum administrator to submit an unintended package-install request. That creates business risk if legacy SMF forums are still reachable and admins browse while authenticated. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running legacy SMF 1.0.x or 1.1.x, especially public forums with active administrator sessions. The bundle does not identify affected CPEs or newer branches. Prioritize remediation if any legacy SMF forum remains online. The issue requires an administrator interaction, but successful abuse targets package installation, which can materially affect forum integrity and availability. Mitigation focus: Upgrade SMF 1.0 installations to 1.0.15 or later.; Upgrade SMF 1.1 installations to 1.1.7 or later.; Retire or isolate unsupported legacy SMF forums..
