DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in PyroCMS, 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 proper validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. add an administrative user by
tricking a logged-in administrative user into visiting a malicious web
site.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.9.9.2. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 0.9.9.5.
