Official Description

Vanilla Forums below 2.1.5 are affected by CSRF leading to Deleting topics and comments from forums Admin access

Source: NIST NVD / MITRE CVE Database

Attack Vector Analysis — CITED Relevance

The vulnerability arises from the lack of proper CSRF protection mechanisms in the affected versions of Vanilla Forums. An attacker can exploit this by tricking an authenticated administrator into visiting a malicious website or clicking on a specially crafted link, which would then send a request to the forum to delete topics or comments without the administrator's explicit consent.

Exploitation Likelihood: MEDIUM
