TITLE:
refbase Cross-Site Request Forgery
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA36111
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/36111/
DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in refbase, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery
attacks.
The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validation checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. create new users when a
logged-in administrative user visits a malicious web site.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.9.5. Other versions may
also be affected.
NOTE: An weakness in the handling of SQL queries has also been
reported, which can be exploited to display fake information if a
user follows a specially crafted link.
SOLUTION:
Do not visit untrusted web site or follow links from untrusted
sources.
