Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for freeipa.

CVE-2023-5455[0]:
| A Cross-site request forgery vulnerability exists in
| ipa/session/login_password in all supported versions of IPA. This
| flaw allows an attacker to trick the user into submitting a request
| that could perform actions as the user, resulting in a loss of
| confidentiality and system integrity. During community penetration
| testing it was found that for certain HTTP end-points FreeIPA does
| not ensure CSRF protection. Due to implementation details one cannot
| use this flaw for reflection of a cookie representing already
| logged-in user. An attacker would always have to go through a new
| authentication attempt.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
