Daniel Weber has reported a vulnerability in eSoft InstaGate, which

forgery attacks.
The vulnerability is caused due to the web interface of the device
allowing users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without
performing any validity checks to verify the request. This can be
exploited e.g. to change certain settings or to change the
administrator's password by enticing a logged-in administrator to
visit a malicious site.
The vulnerability is reported in eSoft InstaGate EX2. Other versions
may also be affected.
