    Hi Team👋,

    I found CSRF while logging out from the account. While exploiting this poc by sending it to a user, any logged-in user can be logout from their session.

    SUMMARY📝:

    Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) is an attack that forces an end user to execute unwanted actions on a web application in which they're currently authenticated. ... If the victim is an administrative account, CSRF can compromise the entire web application.

    STEPS TO REPRODUCE🔥:

    ⚡ Login to user 1 Account
    ⚡ Then Logout and intercept the request in BurpSuite
    ⚡ Right Click >> Engagement Tools >> Generate CSRF POC
    ⚡ Copy the entire HTML code and save it
    ⚡ Now Run this CSRF Exploit where 2nd Account is logged in
    ⚡ User Logout ⚜(CSRF EXPLOIT!)⚜

    IMPACT💥:

    Logout any victim into the attacker account, send the HTML made by the attacker, and then logout him from the Session.

    POC✨:
