Drupal HTTP request user deletion cross-site request forgery

Description:
Drupal is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input.

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform cross-site scripting attacks, Web cache poisoning and other malicious activities.
