CVE-2010-4408: XSS
First published: Mon Dec 06 2010(Updated: )
Apache Archiva 1.0 through 1.0.3, 1.1 through 1.1.4, 1.2 through 1.2.2, and 1.3 through 1.3.1 does not require entry of the administrator's password at the time of modifying a user account, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to gain privileges by leveraging a (1) unattended workstation or (2) cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability, a related issue to CVE-2010-3449.
