CVE-2015-1585: CSRF vulnerability

February 19, 2015 (updated October 9, 2018)

There’s a flaw as HTTP requests to /admin/users do not require multiple steps, explicit confirmation, or a unique token when performing certain sensitive actions. By tricking a user into following a specially crafted link, a context-dependent attacker can perform a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF / XSRF) attack causing the victim to creating administrative users.
