Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cross-site Request Forgery (CSRF) via the REST server. An attacker can execute commands as the user by producing a malicious link that, if clicked while the user is logged in, exploits the server.
PoC
Attacker puts something like this into their malicious site:
<form action="http://<Brooklyn>/v1/applications/oadP4rZU/entities/oadP4rZU/name?name=hacked" method="POST">
If the user clicks on this when logged in, the name of that entity will be changed by the attacker.
