Cotonti 1.0.0 (master branch, commit f43f1fc3) is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in the administration rights handler. In system/admin/admin.rights.php, the rights update action ('a=update') modifies group access rights (including via cotauthaddgroup) without calling cotcheckxg to validate the anti-CSRF token.

Cotonti 1.0.0 (master branch, commit f43f1fc3) is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in the administration configuration handler. In system/admin/admin.config.php, the configuration update action ('a=update') processes POST data via cotconfigupdateoptions without calling cotcheckxg to validate the anti-CSRF token (the 'x' parameter), unlike other admin handlers (e.g. admin.structure.php, admin.cache.php).

Cotonti 1.0.0 (master branch, commit f43f1fc3) is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in the Personal File Storage (PFS) module. In modules/pfs/inc/pfs.main.php, the file upload action ('a=upload') processes uploaded files without calling cotcheckxg to validate the anti-CSRF token, even though sibling actions such as 'delete' (line 272) do.

Cotonti through 1.0.0 derives password recovery validation tokens from md5(microtime()) in users.passrecover.php, creating a predictable token space of approximately one million values per second. Unauthenticated attackers can read the server Date header, precompute candidate tokens within a narrow time window, and probe them against the passrecover authentication endpoint to reset any account password including administrators.

Cotonti 1.0.0 passes the base64-decoded cb parameter to unserialize() without allowedclasses restriction in the comments plugin EditAction. Registered users with comment write permissions can instantiate arbitrary PHP objects and potentially achieve file write or code execution through gadget chains.

XSS
AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N

Cotonti 1.0.0 (master branch, commit f43f1fc3) is vulnerable to stored Cross-Site Scripting in the Personal File Storage (PFS) module. A folder title (pfftitle) is imported with the 'TXT' filter, which does not strip or encode HTML (the tag check in cotimport is disabled), so an authenticated user can store HTML/JavaScript in a folder title.

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N

Cotonti through 1.0.0 contains an open redirect vulnerability in the coturlcheck() function that validates redirect destinations using a regular expression lacking an end-of-string anchor. Attackers can bypass the redirect guard by supplying hostnames beginning with the site domain to redirect users to attacker-controlled hosts through the ratings plugin or other redirect callers.
