Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability manifests in endpoints handling state-changing operations (/user/add and /designer/preview) that lacked CSRF protections. The PoC demonstrates these endpoints accept POST requests without token validation. In Elefant CMS architecture, these would correspond to handler functions in respective module directories. The high confidence comes from: 1) Direct correlation between exploit PoC and endpoint functionality 2) CSRF's inherent requirement for missing token validation 3) Vendor patching pattern typically involves adding CSRF checks to these handlers.
