What is CVE-2008-1106?

The Akamai Client software (formerly Red Swoosh) contains a vulnerability in its management interface that allows remote attackers to bypass authentication mechanisms. Exploitation can occur through an HTTP request either lacking a Referer header or utilizing a spoofed Referer header that appears to come from an approved domain. This vulnerability enables attackers to execute Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks, potentially forcing the client to download and execute arbitrary files, compromising user security and system integrity.
