Hacking PayPal Accounts with 1 Click

Yasser Ali's Blog » Hacking PayPal Accounts with one click (Patched)

PayPal's anti-CSRF Auth token turned out to be reusable, and a valid one could be picked up before logging in from the send-money page, making it usable against any account. Paired with a security-question setup request that was not password protected, one click on an attacker page could reset the victim's security answers, email and payment details and take the account over.
