Technical details

MarkLogic Server 12.x before 12.1.0 and 11.x before 11.3.7 generate predictable CSRF tokens in the Query Console web interface. An attacker can exploit this via a CSRF attack by luring an authenticated user to a malicious page; the attacker then forges requests with valid tokens to execute arbitrary server-side code with the victim's permissions. The vulnerability requires an authenticated user with Query Console access and user interaction (visiting a malicious site).
