Google Adsense CSRF hole

Google Adsense had no CSRF protection on parts of its account area, so a remote page could act as the logged-in user. The author's proof of concept logs the victim in, browses Adsense as them, and finally posts an update to the account's address details, which he verified by appending text to his own address. Specifics were withheld pending Google's fix.
