Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in Citrix XenCenterWeb (Connectivity Software) (version now known). Affected by this issue is some unknown processing. The manipulation of the argument stop_vmname with an unknown input leads to a cross-site request forgery vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-352. The web application does not, or can not, sufficiently verify whether a well-formed, valid, consistent request was intentionally provided by the user who submitted the request. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in sample code in the XenServer Resource Kit in Citrix XenCenterWeb allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for (1) requests that change the password via the username parameter to config/changepw.php or (2) stop a virtual machine via the stop_vmname parameter to hardstopvm.php. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
