The vulnerability is caused due to the application allowing administrators to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the request. This can e.g. be exploited to add new users by enticing a logged-in administrator to visit a malicious web page. The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 1.2. The supposedly fixed version 1.2 is still affected by this vulnerability via POST requests. SOLUTION: Until an update is available the vendor, recommends users to not visit untrusted web sites while being logged in to the administration section. PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: Reported by the vendor.
