Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability manifests in the request handler for /admin/form/save endpoint. While the exact controller class isn't specified in available data, JFinal's architecture routes requests to Controller methods. The absence of CSRF protection (like token validation) in this endpoint's handler allows successful exploitation as demonstrated by the POC. The high confidence comes from: 1) The working POC requiring no CSRF token 2) JFinal's MVC pattern making Controller methods the entry point 3) CSRF vulnerabilities typically occurring at the request handling layer when protections are missing.
