CSRF vulnerability
The CSRF vulnerability in OpenCATS creates opportunities for attackers to take over a system by exploiting the vulnerable system.
OpenCATS is an open source monitoring tool designed to monitor and manage different types of servers, virtual machines, and containers. One of the vulnerabilities in OpenCATS is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability that allows malicious users to exploit the vulnerable system. The vulnerability can be exploited by attackers when an administrator visits a malicious URL. If an attacker exploits this vulnerability, he or she can inject malicious code into the user's browser to take control of the vulnerable system.
New features in OpenCATS v0.9.7
OpenCATS v0.9.7 includes new features including the ability to see what files are modified on your system, the ability to perform a search, and the ability to restart services with a button rather than having to right-click every service individually.
The newest version also fixes many issues including fixing a vulnerability that allowed an attacker to take control of a system by exploiting Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities and improving SSH management.
