CVE-2013-1128
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 · uneditedMultiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in the server in Cisco Unified MeetingPlace before 7.1(2.2000) allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of unspecified victims via unknown vectors, aka Bug ID CSCuc64903. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
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 · moderate confidenceMultiple CSRF vulnerabilities in Cisco Unified MeetingPlace server versions before 7.1(2.2000) allow remote attackers to hijack victim authentication through unknown vectors. The vulnerabilities reside in the server-side form handling and state-changing operations that lack proper anti-CSRF token validation or referrer checking.

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 the installed Cisco Unified MeetingPlace versionAccess the server's administrative interface or check system information files to determine the exact version number of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace installationAffected if The version number is 5.4, 6.0, 6.1, 7.0, 7.0.1, 7.0.2, 7.0.3, or any version 7.1 or lower
-
Verify the web-based management interface is accessibleConfirm that the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web interface is exposed and reachable on the networkAffected if The web interface is accessible and responds to HTTP/HTTPS requests
-
Inspect HTML forms for anti-CSRF token fieldsLoad the server's web forms in a browser, view the page source, and examine whether each form includes a hidden token field or unique identifier used for CSRF validationAffected if Forms lack hidden anti-CSRF token fields or unique request identifiers
-
Test state-changing operations for CSRF protectionSend a state-changing request (such as a form submission) without the expected Referer or Origin header and observe whether the server accepts or rejects the requestAffected if The server accepts and processes state-changing requests without validating Referer or Origin headers
A user is affected if they run Cisco Unified MeetingPlace version 7.1 or earlier and the web interface lacks anti-CSRF token validation on forms.

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 Cisco Unified MeetingPlace to version 7.1(2.2000) or later. As a compensating control, implement SameSite cookie attributes on session cookies and validate Origin/Referrer headers on state-changing requests.
