SOFTWARE:

DESCRIPTION:
Mark Janssen has reported some vulnerabilities in Blackboard Academic
Suite, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
cross-site request forgery attacks.

The vulnerabilities are 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.
enroll users in courses.

SOLUTION:
Do not browse other website while being logged in to the Blackboard
Academic Suite.
