Summary

Apache Archiva versions 1.3.9 and earlier exhibit multiple vulnerabilities allowing remote attackers to perform cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. These vulnerabilities enable unauthorized actions such as hijacking administrative authentication to perform crucial tasks without consent.
