NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mailman package and not the mailman package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

GNU Mailman before 2.1.35 may allow remote Privilege Escalation. A csrf_token value is not specific to a single user account. An attacker can obtain a value within the context of an unprivileged user account, and then use that value in a CSRF attack against an admin (e.g., for account takeover).
