CVE-2025-23113

CVE-2025-23113 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability affecting REDCap version 14.9.6. The issue arises in the "action=myprojects&logout=1" endpoint during the upload of a CSV file containing alert configurations. Specifically, an attacker can embed an HTML injection payload in the "alert-title" field of the CSV. Upon upload, the victim is redirected to a page displaying the uploaded data, where clicking the malicious alert-title triggers the unprotected logout functionality. This stems from the lack of CSRF protections on the logout mechanism, classified under CWE-352 with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 3.4 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N).

An unauthenticated attacker (PR:N) can exploit this by sending a crafted CSV file to a targeted REDCap user via email or other means. The attack requires network access (AV:N), high complexity (AC:H) due to payload crafting, and user interaction (UI:R), as the victim must upload the file and subsequently click the injected alert-title. Successful exploitation changes the scope (S:C) and results in low integrity impact (I:L), either forcibly logging out the victim by terminating their session or redirecting them to a phishing site, potentially enabling session hijacking or credential theft.
