CVE-2010-5084: CSRF

First published: Tue Feb 14 2012(Updated: )

The cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection mechanism in e107 before 0.7.23 uses a predictable random token based on the creation date of the administrator account, which allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that add new users via e107_admin/users.php.
