What is CVE-2016-2965?

The IBM Sametime Meeting Server, specifically versions 8.5.2 and 9.0, suffers from a vulnerability that allows attackers to exploit cross-site request forgery (CSRF) due to improper validation of user-supplied input. When users are tricked into clicking on a malicious link, attackers can force them to terminate their session arbitrarily. This vulnerability can lead to session hijacking, unauthorized actions, and disrupt user access to the server. Protecting against such vulnerabilities is essential to maintain the integrity and security of user sessions.
