CVE-2010-2234: Apache CouchDB Cross Site Request Forgery Attack Severity: Important Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation Versions Affected: Apache CouchDB 0.8.0 to 0.11.0 Description: Apache CouchDB versions prior to version 0.11.1 are vulnerable to cross site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. Mitigation: All users should upgrade to CouchDB 0.11.2 or 1.0.1. Upgrades from the 0.11.x and 0.10.x series should be seamless. Users on earlier versions should consult http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Breaking_changes Example: A malicious website can POST arbitrary JavaScript code to well known CouchDB installation URLs (like http://localhost:5984/) and make the browser execute the injected JavaScript in the security context of CouchDB's admin interface Futon. Unrelated, but in addition the JSONP API has been turned off by default to avoid potential information leakage. Credit: This CSRF issue was discovered by a source that wishes to stay anonymous.
