Summary

Product
Tested Version
The develop branch.
Details
Issue: CSRF (CVE-2018-0785)
The application doesn’t have a fix for CVE-2018-0785 that was found in ASP.NET Core templates. It is vulnerable to CSRF. A logged-in user with enabled Second Factor Authentication (2FA) may lose their recovery codes if they are tricked into clicking a link like https://localhost:44315/manage/GenerateRecoveryCodes or visit a malicious site that makes the request without the user’s consent. As a result the user may be permanently locked out of their account after losing access to their 2FA device, as the initial recovery codes would no longer be valid.
Impact
This issue may lead to a per-user DoS.
