Vulnerability

Description

Silverlight applications may be vulnerable to cross-site request forgery attacks due to misconfigured web servers, allowing arbitrary domains to make requests.

Recommendation

Ensure the clientaccesspolicy.xml file restricts access to only trusted domains by specifying specific URIs, and only grant wildcard access (*domain) if the service does not handle sensitive data.
