CVE-2021-45785

Summary

CVE-2021-45785 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability affecting TruDesk Help Desk/Ticketing Solution version 1.1.11. An attacker can exploit this weakness to initiate a server restart, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. They must create a malicious webpage that prompts the victim, who holds sufficient privileges, to visit the page. This action inadvertently triggers a GET request to the /api/v1/admin/restart endpoint, initiating the server restart process. For a successful attack, the attacker needs to have knowledge of the TruDesk system's full URL.
