TITLE:
Simple Machines Forum Cross-Site Request Forgery

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37557

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37557/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in Simple Machines Forum,
which can be exploited by malicious users and malicious people to
conduct cross-site request forgery attacks.

The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
request. This can be exploited to e.g. perform certain administrative
actions when a logged-in user visits a malicious site.

Successful exploitation allows e.g. to delete package servers,
conduct script insertion attacks via censor lists and package
manager, and execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading arbitrary
modules, but requires a valid user account.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.1.10. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.1.11

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
SimpleAudit team
