CVE-2009-4898 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-4898):
  Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in TWiki before 4.3.2
  allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of arbitrary
  users for requests that update pages, as demonstrated by a URL for a
  save script in the ACTION attribute of a FORM element, in conjunction
  with a call to the submit method in the onload attribute of a BODY
  element.  NOTE: this issue exists because of an insufficient fix for
  CVE-2009-1339.
