Description:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Interact, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery attacks.

The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the request. This can be exploited to e.g. add new super administrator users by enticing a logged-in super administrator to visit a malicious web page.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.4.1. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Do not browse untrusted websites while logged on to the application.
