CVE-2008-7214: Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in administrator/index2.php in MOStlyCE before 2.4, as used...

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in administrator/index2.php in MOStlyCE before 2.4, as used in Mambo 4.6.3 and earlier, allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that add new administrator accounts via the save task in a com_users action, as demonstrated using a separate XSS vulnerability in mambots/editors/mostlyce/jscripts/tiny_mce/filemanager/connectors/php/connector.php.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue could let an attacker abuse a logged-in Mambo administrator’s browser to create a new administrator account. It affects MOStlyCE before 2.4 as used in Mambo 4.6.3 and earlier. Business risk is highest for legacy public sites still using those components. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Mambo deployments using MOStlyCE before 2.4, especially Mambo 4.6.3 and earlier. The source bundle provides no reliable CPE list, so inventory confirmation is required. Treat this as a legacy-system risk, not a broad modern platform emergency. Prioritize if any internet-facing Mambo administrative surface or unsupported Mambo installation remains active. Mitigation focus: Identify any Mambo 4.6.3 or earlier systems still in service.; Confirm whether MOStlyCE is before version 2.4.; Review Mambo and MOStlyCE vendor guidance for supported update or removal paths..
