Synopsis
========

Trac allows remote attackers to execute unauthorized actions as other
users.

Background
==========

Trac is a wiki and issue tracking system for software development
projects.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Description
===========

Trac allows users to perform certain tasks via HTTP requests without
performing correct validation on those requests.

Impact

crafted URL, allowing the attacker to execute actions in the Trac
instance as if they were the user.

Workaround
