Title: Apache Tomcat Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Vulnerability

Overview:

DISPUTED Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Manager application in Apache Tomcat 5.5.25 and earlier allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that manipulate application deployment via the POST method as demonstrated by a /manager/html/undeploypath URI. NOTE: the vendor disputes the significance of this report stating that quotthe Apache Tomcat Security team has not accepted any reports of CSRF attacks against the Manager application ... as they require a reckless system administrator.quot
