Description:
Mark Janssen has reported some vulnerabilities in Blackboard Academic Suite, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery attacks.
The vulnerabilities are caused due to the application allowing users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the request. This can be exploited to e.g. enroll users in courses.
Solution:
Do not browse other website while being logged in to the Blackboard Academic Suite.
