Description Andrej Nemec 2017-09-13 07:41:51 UTC

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Mongoose Web Server before 6.9 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of users for requests that modify Mongoose.conf via a request to __mg_admin?save. NOTE: this issue can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code remotely.
