Description

There is a vulnerability in eBox Platform which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery attacks.

This can be exploited to e.g. create an arbitrary user if a logged-in administrative user visits a malicious web site. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.4-2. Other versions may also be affected.
