# CVE-2026-31016
## About the Application
Squidex is an open source, headless content management system (CMS) and content management hub providing a platform for managing and delivering content.
## About the Finding
A cross-site request forgery vulnerability (CSRF) in Squidex.io Squidex CMS 0 through 7.21.0 versions allow a remote attacker to escalate privileges via the IdentityServer account profile endpoint.
## Proof of Concept
An attacker-controlled HTML page hosted within Squidex (e.g., uploaded as an asset and accessed via its direct URL) embeds the Identity profile management endpoint in an iframe. When a victim maintains an authenticated session, UI redress may induce unintended interaction with the framed profile management page, enabling actions exposed by that view.
Create HTML file with Proof of Concept content below and upload into assets. Access the uploaded file directly to observe the HTML page loading with iFrame loading in the profile management page.

## Conclusion
Where profile management operations include email address changes without verification, UI redress can induce state changes with durable security consequences, including account integrity compromise and potential account recovery pivot scenarios. Industry guidance identifies CSP `frame-ancestors` (preferably `frame-ancestors 'none'` for sensitive UI) and, where applicable, `X-Frame-Options` as primary mitigations to prevent clickjacking by disallowing framing.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://lgnas.gitbook.io/findings/cve-2026-31016.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
