Advisory Details:

High-Tech Bridge Security Research Lab discovered vulnerability in Magento, which can be exploited to perform CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) attacks and delete shipment address and whishlist items.


1) Two CSRF Vulnerabilities in Magento: CVE-2015-7983

The vulnerability exists due to failure in the "/index.php" script to properly verify the source of HTTP request. A remote unauthenticated attacker can create a specially crafted malicious web page with CSRF exploit, trick a logged-in user to visit the page, spoof the HTTP request as if it was coming from the legitimate user and delete previously added address in user’s profile or remove items from user’s whishlist.

Successful exploitation requires knowledge of address/item identifier (ID), but it can be easily brute-forced or guessed as it's an incremental integer.

Simple request for deleting customer’s address:
http://[host]/index.php/customer/address/delete/id/[ID]

Simple request for removing item from customer’s wishlist:
http://[host]/index.php/wishlist/index/remove/item/[ID]/


Solution:
Update to Magento 1.9.3 or apply SUPEE-8788 security patch.
