What is CVE-2025-23113?
CVE-2025-23113 is a low-severity vulnerability in Vanderbilt REDCap, published on 10 Jan 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
An issue was discovered in REDCap 14.9.6. It has an action=myprojects&logout=1 CSRF issue in the alert-title while performing an upload of a CSV file containing a list of alert configuration. An attacker can send the victim a CSV file containing an HTML injection payload in the alert-title. Once the victim uploads the file, he automatically lands on a page to view the uploaded data. If the victim click on the alert-title value, it can trigger a logout request and terminates their session, or redirect to a phishing website. This vulnerability stems from the absence of CSRF protections on the logout functionality.
