Vulnerability Type:
=================================
Privilege Escalation / CSRF



Vulnerability Details:
=====================

PHP Server Monitor uses level 20 for basic user and level 10 for Admins
these are stored in Database. Basic users can elevate thier privileges to
that of Administrator
by crafting an HTTP payload changing their level to '10' then getting an
Administrator to click an infected link or visit a malicious website to
launch an
CSRF attack which will grant the user admin access. This problem is due to
no CSRF protection mechanism in place.
