Skalinks admin_account.php cross-site request forgery
| skalinks-adminaccount-csrf (38286) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Skalinks is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the admin_account.php script. By persuading an authenticated victim with administrative privileges to visit a specially-crafted Web site, a remote attacker could send a malformed HTTP request to cause the victim to add new admin users and possibly perform other arbitrary administrative tasks. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform cross-site scripting attacks, Web cache poisoning and other malicious activities.
