REDHAT-BUG-529483: CSRF
It was found that Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite and Spacewalk services did not protect against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks. If an authenticated RHN Satellite or Spacewalk service user visited a specially- crafted web page, it could lead to unauthorized command execution with the privileges of that user, for example, creating a new user account, granting administrator privileges to user accounts, disabling the account of the current user, and so on.
