Vulnerability:
Cross Site Request Forgery - (CSRF)

Info:
http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Cross-Site_Request_Forgery_(CSRF)

After doing some research, i have found that the anti csrf token
"authenticity_token" value is not validated from the local server side
which will result in a more csrf attack scenario around the whole local
metasploit project.
