This repository provides a proof-of-concept (POC) exploit for CVE-2023-40868, a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in mooSocial MooSocial Software (Demo version). The repository contains two files: a 'Poc' file with HTML/JavaScript code that automates form submission to delete or deactivate a user's account, and a README file explaining the vulnerability and usage instructions.

The attack leverages the victim's active session to perform unauthorized actions. The main endpoints targeted are 'https://socialcommerce.moosocial.com/users/delete_account' and 'https://socialcommerce.moosocial.com/users/deactivate'. The exploit is a simple POC and does not include advanced payloads or automation.
