DESCRIPTION:
darkbunny91 has discovered a vulnerability in FlatNuke, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery
attacks.
The vulnerability is caused due to the application allowing users to
perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any
validity checks to verify the request. This can be exploited to e.g.
create new administrators or change administrators' passwords by
enticing a logged-in administrator to visit a malicious site.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.6.1 and reported in
version 2.6. Other versions may also be affected.
