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 HP Insight Control Performance Management installationCheck for the application on the system by looking for HP Insight Control processes in task manager or services, or check for installation directories such as C:\Program Files\HP\Insight Control or /opt/hp/insight_controlAffected if The application is installed on the system
-
Determine the installed versionOpen the HP Systems Insight Manager or HP Insight Control console and navigate to the About or Version information section, or check the version listed in Add/Remove Programs (Windows) or the installed packages (Linux/Unix)Affected if The installed version is 5.0, 5.2, 5.2.2, 6.0, or any version 6.1 or lower
-
Verify the web interface is accessibleAttempt to access the HP Insight Control web interface by navigating to the server hostname or IP on the configured port (typically 80 or 443)Affected if The web interface is accessible and the application version is prior to 6.2
The environment is affected if HP Insight Control Performance Management version 6.1 or earlier (including 5.0, 5.2, 5.2.2, and 6.0) is installed and 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 HP Insight Control Performance Management to version 6.2 or later to obtain the fixed anti-CSRF mechanism; if immediate upgrade is not possible, implement additional CSRF tokens at the proxy layer as a compensating control.
