Cross-site request forgery is facilitated by OpenCATS failure to require CSRF tokens in POST requests. An attacker can exploit this issue by creating a dummy page that executes Javascript in an authenticated user's session when visited.
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.
