HTTP: Ignite Realtime Openfire user-create.jsp Cross-Site Request Forgery
A cross-site request forgery vulnerability has been reported in Openfire's user-create.jsp script. The vulnerability is due to insufficient CSRF protections. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by enticing a user with administrator privileges to visit a page which sends a request to user-create.jsp. Successful exploitation can result in adding arbitrary users.
