Action Type Old Value New Value
Changed Description 
BeyondTrust Secure Remote Access Base Software through 6.0.1 allows an attacker to achieve full admin access to the appliance, by tricking the administrator into creating a new admin account through an XSS/CSRF attack involving a crafted request to the /appliance/users?action=edit endpoint. This cross-site-scripting (XSS) vulnerability occurs when it does not properly sanitize an unauthenticated crafted web request to the server
