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. assign a user administrative privileges or change an administrator's password by tricking a logged in administrative user into visiting a malicious web site. NOTE: This may further be used to conduct script insertion attacks. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.2.1. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Do not browse untrusted websites or follow untrusted links while logged in to the application.
