CVE-2010-2282
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 TomatoCMS 2.0.6 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that change the administrative password.
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 confidenceThis is a CSRF vulnerability in TomatoCMS 2.0.6 where the admin password change functionality lacks anti-CSRF protection. An attacker can craft a malicious page that, when visited by an authenticated administrator, silently submits a form to change the admin password to a value the attacker controls, effectively giving the attacker administrative access.

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 installed TomatoCMS versionLocate the version file or check the footer/admin panel for the TomatoCMS version number. Common locations include: /includes/version.php, a README file, or the administration dashboard footer.Affected if The installed version is exactly 2.0.6
-
Locate the admin password change functionalityAccess the administrator panel and navigate to the user settings or password change section. Typical paths include /admin/user/profile or /admin/user/changepassword.Affected if The password change form is accessible and active in the admin panel
-
Verify anti-CSRF token presence in password change formView the HTML source of the admin password change form page. Look for a hidden input field containing a token value (often named 'csrf_token', 'token', 'form_token', or similar). Also check for any JavaScript-based token validation.Affected if No hidden CSRF token field is present in the password change form HTML
-
Check server-side CSRF token validationIf you have access to the source code, examine the server-side handler for the password change action (typically in the user controller). Look for validation of CSRF tokens before processing the password change request.Affected if The server-side code does not validate CSRF tokens for the password change action
A user is affected if they are running TomatoCMS 2.0.6 AND the admin password change form lacks anti-CSRF token protection in both the form HTML and server-side validation.

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 (synchronizer token pattern) on all state-changing admin forms including password change, and validate these tokens server-side before processing any administrative action.
