aggregator module for Drupal cross-site request forgery
| drupal-aggregator-csrf (39617) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
The aggregator module for Drupal is vulnerable to a cross-site request forgery, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted Web site, a remote attacker could send a malformed HTTP GET request to cause the victim to remove items from a specific feed and possibly perform other arbitrary tasks. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform cross-site scripting attacks, Web cache poisoning and other malicious activities.
