Summary

Qool CMS is a content management system that helps web masters be more productive. Qool has been built with both worlds (web master, web developer) in mind. It is easy to create addons (extensions) for the system but you can really do without them too.

Description

Qool CMS allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to perform certain actions with administrative privileges if a logged-in user visits a malicious web site.
