DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in Family Connections, 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 an administrator's
password by tricking a logged in administrator into visiting a
malicious web site.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.7.2. Other versions may
also be affected.

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