Comment (by snarebold):

 As a result from a professional penetration test

 Is it possible to perform CSRF attacks (regarding the comment form) ?
 Yes, an attacker could e.g. integrate the comment form (HTTP POST) in a
 hidden iFrame and trick a victim to load this frame. In this way, an
 attacker could silently post arbitrary comments from the victim's IP
 address.
