DESCRIPTION:
John Leitch has discovered a vulnerability in Helix Server, which can
be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery
attacks.

The web-based administration interface allows users to perform
certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validation
checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to e.g. add a
user to a realm e.g. when a logged-in administrative user visits a
specially crafted web site.

Successful exploitation requires knowledge of the admin interface
port and the Realm ID.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 14.0.1.571. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not browse untrusted sites or follow untrusted links while being
logged-in to the web-based administration interface.
