SSP-Configuration Manager: Inadequate Cross-Site Request Forgery Implementation

We use the Sterling Secure proxy application, in conjunction with the Sterling Integrator application, in our Managed File Transfer environment. A penetration test was conducted on our SSP-CM application (v3.4.2) in July 2016, and this brought to the forefront, some security-related Product risks. A PMR (11501) was raised with support and we were advised that a number of these vulnerabilities would be fixed by upgrading to 3.4.3 iFix1 or above. We have subsequently upgraded our SSP to the latest available version (3.4.3 iFix3+), but there was no solution provided for this vulnerability detailed in this RFE.
