DESCRIPTION:
High-Tech Bridge SA has discovered a vulnerability in Webmedia
Explorer, 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. create a new article by
tricking the administrator into visiting a malicious web site.

NOTE: This can further be exploited to conduct script insertion
attacks.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 6.10.4. Other versions may
also be affected.

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