exploits: In order to exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would have had to create and host a vulnerable .swf file on their own web server and have the user visit the page that hosts this file. Once the user visits this page, the .swf would run in-browser and cause a 307 redirect, which in turn would direct the victim to the API endpoint and make the CSRF request.
solutions: This issue minimally affects Security Console versions 6.5.0 through 6.5.68. If your Security Console currently falls on or within this affected version range, ensure that you update your Security Console to 6.5.69 (or later if available).
