Summary

PwnDoc is a penetration test report generator. There is no CSRF protection in pwndoc, allowing attackers to send requests on a logged-in user's behalf. This includes GET and POST requests due to the missing SameSite= attribute on cookies and the ability to refresh cookies. Commit 14acb704891245bf1703ce6296d62112e85aa995 patches the issue.
