CVE-2026-34383 is a sibling vulnerability in the same Admidio admidio advisory bundle as CVE-2026-34381. The same patched build closes every CVE in the bundle, so the remediation procedure for CVE-2026-34383 matches the primary write-up.

What is different about CVE-2026-34383?

Admidio is an open-source user management solution. Prior to version 5.0.8, the inventory module's item_save endpoint accepts a user-controllable POST parameter imported that, when set to true, completely bypasses both CSRF token validation and server-side form validation. An authenticated user can craft a direct POST request to save arbitrary inventory item data without CSRF protection and without the field value checks that the FormPresenter validation normally enforces.

Impact is consistent with the bundle: cross-site request forgery against an authenticated user. The patched build closes every code path in the advisory in one update.
