CVE-2010-0785
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 · uneditedCross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Administrative Console in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 6.1 before 6.1.0.35 and 7.0 before 7.0.0.13 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of unspecified victims via unknown vectors.
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.

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 if IBM WebSphere Application Server is installedLocate WebSphere installation directories or running WAS processes on the systemAffected if WebSphere Application Server is present on the system
-
Determine the installed WebSphere versionRun the WebSphere versionInfo command from the bin directory, or inspect version metadata files in the installation directoryAffected if The version cannot be determined or is lower than 6.1.0.35 for the 6.1.x line or lower than 7.0.0.13 for the 7.0.x line
-
Verify Administrative Console is enabledConfirm the WebSphere Administrative Console is configured and accessible (typically ports 9060 for HTTP or 9043 for HTTPS)Affected if The Administrative Console is accessible and the version falls within the affected range
-
Compare version to affected rangesMatch the installed version against: 6.1 prior to 6.1.0.35 OR 7.0 prior to 7.0.0.13Affected if Installed version is 6.1.0.0 through 6.1.0.34, or 7.0.0.0 through 7.0.0.12
You are affected if WebSphere Application Server version 6.1.x prior to 6.1.0.35 or version 7.0.x prior to 7.0.0.13 is installed and the Administrative Console is accessible.

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 dataUpgrade IBM WebSphere Application Server to version 6.1.0.35 or later, or 7.0.0.13 or later, which includes CSRF protection mechanisms in the Administrative Console.
