Description
MyBB is free and open source forum software. Prior to 1.8.40, the ACP Users View Manager module does not validate requests correctly, allowing same-site attackers to change a victim administrator's default user list view by embedding a specially crafted URL. The Set as Default control named set_default in Admin CP, Users & Groups, Users, View Manager changes the administrator's default view on GET requests without request forgery protection. The uniquely identifying implementation details include Users & Groups → Users → View Manager, and admin/inc/functions_view_manager.php. This issue is fixed in version 1.8.40.
