CVE-2007-2379
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe jQuery framework exchanges data using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) without an associated protection scheme, which allows remote attackers to obtain the data via a web page that retrieves the data through a URL in the SRC attribute of a SCRIPT element and captures the data using other JavaScript code, aka "JavaScript Hijacking."
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe jQuery framework exchanges JSON data without CSRF or other protection mechanisms. Attackers exploit this by embedding the JSON endpoint URL as a SRC attribute in a SCRIPT tag on a malicious page, causing the victim's browser to execute the JSON response as JavaScript, allowing the attacker to capture the data.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify jQuery usage in the applicationSearch the codebase or loaded libraries for jQuery references. Check JavaScript files for 'jquery' or '$' variable usage, or inspect the page source for jQuery script tags.Affected if jQuery is present and JSON endpoints return sensitive data via GET requests without CSRF protection
-
Check if JSON endpoints accept GET requestsReview the application's API endpoints that return JSON data. Test by making a GET request to suspected JSON endpoints and examining the response content-type and data.Affected if JSON endpoints respond to GET requests and return application/json content without requiring authentication tokens
-
Inspect JSON responses for sensitive data exposureAccess the JSON endpoints via browser or curl with a GET request. Examine if the response contains sensitive user data (PII, session tokens, user-specific information) that could be captured by an attacker.Affected if GET-accessible JSON endpoints return sensitive data that would be valuable to an attacker
-
For NetApp SnapCenter installationsIdentify if NetApp SnapCenter is installed by checking for the SnapCenter service or web interface. Verify if any web-based API endpoints exist that serve JSON data via HTTP GET without anti-CSRF mechanisms.Affected if NetApp SnapCenter is running and exposes JSON APIs accessible via GET requests without CSRF tokens
The environment is affected if jQuery or NetApp SnapCenter is in use AND JSON endpoints return sensitive data via GET requests without CSRF or origin validation protection.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement anti-CSRF tokens for JSON endpoints, use POST requests instead of GET for sensitive data, and add Referer/Origin header validation to prevent cross-origin script inclusion attacks.
