Last modified
CVE-2020-35217 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Vert.x-Web framework v4.0 milestone 1-4 does not perform a correct CSRF verification.

EPSS estimates a 0.58% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
Vert.x-Web framework v4.0 milestone 1-4 does not perform a correct CSRF verification. Instead of comparing the CSRF token in the request with the CSRF token in the cookie, it compares the CSRF token in the cookie against a CSRF token that is stored in the session. An attacker does not even need to provide a CSRF token in the request because the framework does not consider it. The cookies are automatically sent by the browser and the verification will always succeed, leading to a successful CSRF attack.
