This CSRF doesn't work for me on two 2.0.4 installations I tested on.
Both return
  Unable to verify referring url. Please go back and try again.

There seems to be a CSRF protection in this hidden form field:
  <input type="hidden" name="e2b8c5b3437"
value="bdcc798a0a86fa141da538f7c3a6ec42" />

So this doesn't seem exploitable this way (but it also doesn't make the
XSS bug vanish in the haze, either).

To clarify, I'm a SMF user (and independent tester) not affiliated with
the SMF developers.
