Cross-Site Request Forgery
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) is an attack that instructs the browser of a victim to send a forged HTTP request to execute actions on a vulnerable web application in which the victim is currently authenticated.
The forged HTTP request can be embedded in emails, chats, or other websites. If the victim visits a forged HTTP request while authenticated to the vulnerable web application, and the victim has permission to perform the action, the attack with succeed.
A successful CSRF exploit can compromise user data, operations, or the entire web application. There is no limit to the impact of a CSRF attack. Some example impacts on Windchill are:
A user could be added to a team for a project, product, or library, allowing them to have access to sensitive data.
An important document could be deleted.
Security privileges for an object could be modified, granting additional privileges to unprivileged users, or denying privileges to others.
A change request could be denied or inappropriately approved.
A package containing sensitive data could be sent to an unauthorized person.
