CVE-2017-7423

26
FAUCET Score

CVE-2017-7423 describes a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the esfadmingui component of Micro Focus Enterprise Developer and Enterprise Server versions 2.3 and 2.3 Update 1 (before Hotfix 8) and 2.3 Update 2 (before Hotfix 9). This high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 8.8) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to forge requests, potentially leading to privilege elevation by creating new privileged credentials, if the esfadmingui component is enabled. While the component is not enabled by default, its exploitation requires user interaction but has low attack complexity. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
