Gokapi has CSRF in Login Endpoint

Description

Summary

The login flow accepts credential-bearing requests without CSRF protection mechanisms tied to the browser session context. The handler parses form values directly and creates a session on successful credential validation.

Issue found by aisafe.io

Impact

An attacker can force a victim browser into a session associated with an existing user account where the attacker knows the credentials, causing user confusion, activity misattribution, and potential misuse of trusted user actions.

Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.
User interaction (UI:R)
A real person has to do something—click, install, enable—otherwise it doesn’t land.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:L)
Some sensitive info could get out, but not a total data dump.
Integrity (I:L)
Attackers could change some data, but it’s limited—not everything goes.
Availability (A:N)
Service keeps running; no real outage angle.
