DESCRIPTION:
Alexander Klink has reported a vulnerability in OpenCA, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery
attacks.
The vulnerability is caused due to the application allowing users to
perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any
validity checks to verify the request. This can be exploited to e.g.
issue arbitrary certificates by enticing an administrative user to
visit a malicious web site.
The vulnerability is reported in version 0.9.2.5. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Do not browse untrusted sites or follow untrusted links while being
logged on to the application.
