CVE-2016-8737: Apache Brooklyn is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery (CSRF)

May 17, 2022 (updated April 22, 2025)

In Apache Brooklyn before 0.10.0, the REST server is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery (CSRF), which could permit a malicious web site to produce a link which, if clicked whilst a user is logged in to Brooklyn, would cause the server to execute the attacker’s commands as the user. There is known to be a proof-of-concept exploit using this vulnerability.
