This report describes a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in NordVPN's profile management page. An attacker could craft a malicious webpage that, when visited by an authenticated user, automatically submits a form to change the victim’s account password without their consent. The vulnerability affects the password change functionality, potentially allowing account takeover if exploited. A proof-of-concept HTML form demonstrating the attack was provided by the reporter.
