Description

By exploiting a Cross-site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability the attacker can mount any of the actions that can be done by the user such as adding a user, modifying content, deleting data. All the functionality that’s available to the victim can be used by the attacker. The only exception to this rule is a page that requires extra information that only the legitimate user can know (such as the user’s password).
