Technical details and impact analysis

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
The application does not throw a CrossSiteRequestForgeryException, if the request does not contain the requesttoken header. Steps to reproduce - run the docker image "owncloud/server:10.12.2" , redis and mariadb with docker-compose - log in the application as an admin user - insert your cookies in ```bash curl 'http://localhost:8080/settings/users/users' \ -H 'Accept: */*' \ -H 'Connection: keep-alive' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8' \ -H 'Cookie: oc_sessionPassphrase=<placeholder1>; oclt1tejv3yd=<placeholder2>' \ -H 'Origin: http://abc:8080' \ --data-raw 'username=new_admin&groups%5B%5D=admin&password=a&email=test%40mail.com' \ --compressed ``` and run it. - Login in the application with the username `new_admin` and the passwort `a` To add an admin user is only an example. Most if not all requests does not require an CSRF token. I think the cause of this vulnerability is the second condition of https://github.com/owncloud/core/blob/master/lib/private/AppFramework/Middleware/Security/SecurityMiddleware.php#L145, because the the value of `$this->request->getHeader("Authorization")` is an empty string and not null, if there are no `Authorization` header. ## Impact Under the requirement, that the sameSite value of the cookies are set to `lax` or `none`, an attacker can create a website and if the victim surfs to this website cross site requests with the cookies of the victim are possible. Depending on the role/groups of the victim, the attacker can create an admin account with known username and passwort or share files with an other (possible attacker controlled) user and possible other actions.
