2. Vulnerability Description
CVSS
Medium 5.1 AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P
Description
The only protection against CSRF is a referer check. This check can be disabled by a user with the rights to edit settings, thus making the application vulnerable to CSRF.
A user may choose to disable referer checks, because when they are enabled, external links or direct entry/bookmarks to specific pages in the backend do not work, which severely limits the usability of the application
3. Solution
This issue has not been fixed by the vendor.
