DESCRIPTION:
John Leitch has discovered a vulnerability in The Uniform 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 change configured administrative
passwords if a logged-in administrator visits a specially crafted web
site.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.6.5. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Set passwords for all sensitive resources. Do not browse untrusted
sites or follow links from untrusted sources when being logged-in to
the application.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
