Symantec · Symantec Liveupdate Administrator · CVE-2011-0545
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Symantec LiveUpdate Administrator versions prior to 2.3
**Description**
A cross-site request forgery issue affects the adduser.do endpoint, allowing remote attackers to hijack administrator authentication for creating new administrative accounts, potentially having other unspecified impacts. The `userRole` parameter is involved in this issue.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 2.3, update to version 2.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the adduser.do endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `userRole` parameter in the affected endpoint until the issue is resolved.
