DESCRIPTION:
Grabpot Thundergust has discovered a vulnerability in ocPortal, 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 and fails to properly check the validity of the requests.
This can be exploited to e.g. create additional administrative users
if a logged-in administrative user visits a specially crafted web
site.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 4.3.2. Other versions may
also be affected.

sources while being logged-in to the application.
