It was found that Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite and Spacewalk services did
not protect against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks. If an
authenticated RHN Satellite or Spacewalk service user visited a specially-
crafted web page, it could lead to unauthorized command execution with the
privileges of that user, for example, creating a new user account, granting
administrator privileges to user accounts, disabling the account of the current
user, and so on.
