This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site. 2) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity check to verify the request. This can be exploited to perform certain actions, e.g. to shutdown the system, by enticing a logged-in administrator to visit a malicious web site. The vulnerability is reported in version 2.6.2 and confirmed in version 2.6.3. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Do not follow untrusted links and do not visit untrusted web sites while being logged-in to the web-based management interface.
