Ushahidi 2.2 Multiple Vulnerabilites

The first vulnerability is a CSRF Add Admin PoC which allows an attacker to add an admin user to the system. This is done by sending a POST request with the necessary parameters.

Mitigation:

Implementing a strong CSRF protection mechanism and validating user input to prevent XSS attacks.
