Original NVD Description

Social media skeleton is an uncompleted/framework social media project implemented using a php, css ,javascript and html. A Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attack is a type of malicious attack whereby an attacker tricks a victim into performing an action on a website that they do not intend to do. This can be done by sending the victim a malicious link or by exploiting a vulnerability in the website. Prior to version 1.0.5 Social media skeleton did not properly restrict CSRF attacks. This has been addressed in version 1.0.5 and all users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
