Prerequisites for launching attack
 
In order for this vulnerability to be exploited all of he following conditions must be met:

1.User must be logged into iManager then click on the button or link posted on the malicious site.
2.User must open a new tab or new instance of the same browser.
3.The exploiter must know all the details about the request
(IE., IP address of the iManager server, port on which it is run, all the request parameters, etc.)
