Description
MyBB is free and open source forum software. Prior to 1.8.40, the Admin CP Recovery Codes module does not validate requests correctly, allowing same-site attackers to rotate a victim administrator's recovery codes with a specially crafted URL. The Admin CP Home, Preferences, Recovery Codes action=recovery_codes page regenerates Two-Factor Authentication recovery codes in mybb_adminoptions.recovery_codes on GET requests without request forgery protection. The uniquely identifying implementation details include admin/modules/home/preferences.php. This issue is fixed in version 1.8.40.
