CVE-2023-27295
Cross-site request forgery is facilitated by OpenCATS failure to require CSRF tokens in POST requests.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.35%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Cross-site request forgery is facilitated by OpenCATS failure to require CSRF tokens in POST requests. An attacker can exploit this issue by creating a dummy page that executes Javascript in an authenticated user's session when visited.
