Information
=================================
Name: CSRF Vulnerability in TestLink 1.9.14
Affected Software: TestLink
Affected Versions: 1.9.14 and possibly below
Vendor Homepage: http://testlink.org/
Severity: High
Status: Fixed
Vulnerability Type:
=================================
Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
CVE Reference:
=================================
Not assigned
Technical Details:
=================================
Even though the use of CSRF tokens are being implemented in the
application, they aren't properly
validated at the server side. This allows malicious requests to be
generated by the attacker and
get them processed by the server on behalf of the victim. By
exploiting the vulnerability,
the attacker will be able to create user accounts with administrator
privileges on the application.
