News 1.0 XSRF Vulnerability (Add Admin)

This exploit allows an attacker to add an admin user to the News 1.0 system without proper authorization.

The parameters include the username, password, email, and group ID. The attacker can modify these parameters to add any desired user.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to implement proper authorization and authentication mechanisms in the application. Additionally, input validation should be performed on all user-supplied data to prevent malicious actions.
