Symantec Live Update Administrator CSRF Exploit
Symantec LiveUpdate Administrator is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability. Successful exploits will allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to run in the context of the affected application, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.
Mitigation:
The application should verify that requests are made by the user and not by an attacker. This can be done by using a secret token that is sent with each request and validated by the server.
