Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Greenbone Security Assistant (GSA) before 2.0+rc3 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of users for requests that send email via an OMP request to OpenVAS Manager. NOTE: this issue can be leveraged to bypass authentication requirements for exploiting CVE-2011-0018.
The web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor.
