Description

PTK Forensics contains a flaw that allows a remote Cross-site Request Forgery (CSRF / XSRF) attack. The flaw exists because the application does not require multiple steps or explicit confirmation for sensitive transactions of the /lib/logout.php script. By using a crafted URL (e.g., a crafted GET request inside an "img" tag), an attacker may trick the victim into clicking on the image to take advantage of the trust relationship between the authenticated victim and the application. Such an attack could trick the victim into forcing administrators to logout in the context of their session with the application, without further prompting or verification.

The vulnerability described in this advisory (in a poor English, I might say) it is limited exclusively to the theoretical  applicability in the forensic field.  Whoever is familiar with the basics of computer forensics knows that the software used in laboratory is  in segregated and trusted network compared to the local LAN network of the lab itself. Thus it is very difficult for us to have a practical application of the exploit.
