+title: "CVE-2016-8737: Cross-site request forgery vulnerability in Apache
Brooklyn"
+---
+
+## Severity
+Major
+
+## Vendor
+The Apache Software Foundation
+
+## Versions Affected
+Apache Brooklyn 0.9.0 and all prior versions
+
+## Description
+Apache Brooklyn's REST server is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery
(CSRF), which could permit a malicious web site to produce a link which, if
clicked whilst a user is logged in to Brooklyn, would cause the server to
execute the attacker's commands as the user. There is known to be a
proof-of-concept exploit using this vulnerability.
+
+## Solution
+Upgrade to Apache Brooklyn 0.10.0. This includes commit [1] adding opt-in
CSRF protection server-side and commit [2] where the JS client opts-in.
+
+## Temporary mitigation if you cannot upgrade to 0.10.0
+Do not visit websites with possible malicious content targeted at you in
the same browser instance logged in to Brooklyn unless you have CSRF-POST
protection installed in the browser (see [3]). Do not share a Brooklyn server
with untrusted users without an enhanced entitlements scheme. Do not publicize
the address of Brooklyn-based UIs. If a link you click on takes you to
Brooklyn unexpectedly, contact your security team immediately.
