Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Cherokee-admin in Cherokee before 1.2.99 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that insert cross-site scripting (XSS) sequences, as demonstrated by a crafted nickname field to vserver/apply.

The generate_admin_password function in Cherokee before 1.2.99 uses time and PID values for seeding of a random number generator, which makes it easier for local users to determine admin passwords via a brute-force attack.

Format string vulnerability in the PRINT_ERROR function in common.c for Cherokee Web Server 0.4.16 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the -C command line argument. NOTE: it is not clear whether this issue could be exploited remotely, or if Cherokee is running at escalated privileges. Therefore it might not be a vulnerability.
