TITLE:
Abyss Web Server Cross-Site Request Forgery Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA39854

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39854/

DESCRIPTION:
John Leitch has discovered a vulnerability in Abyss Web Server, 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 validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. change the administrator's
password by tricking a logged in administrator into visiting a
malicious web site.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version X1 2.6 running on Windows.
Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not browse untrusted sites or follow untrusted links while being
logged-in to the application.
