N/A



Vulnerability Details:
=====================
Dotdefender firewall (WAF) is vulnerable to cross site request forgery,
this allows attackers to make HTTP requests via the victims browser to
the dotdefender management server on behalf of the victim if the victim is
logged in and visits a malicious web page or clicks an infected link.
Result can be modifying or disabling various firewall patterns,
User-Defined Rule settings and global event logging etc...


HTTP requests sent to Dotdefender to enable or disable user-Defined rule
settings are base64 encoded using SOAP protocol.
Sending the below base64 value for example disables a Dotdefender firewall
setting.
