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.
-
Confirm HP Operations Orchestration is installedCheck for HP Operations Orchestration installation by searching for its typical installation directories (e.g., C:\Program Files\HP\HP Operations Orchestration or /opt/hp/oo) or look for the 'oo' service process running on the system.Affected if HP Operations Orchestration software is present on the system
-
Identify the installed versionLocate the version file or check the product information. Common paths include: the 'version' or 'version.txt' file within the installation directory, or run a command like 'oo-version' or check the About dialog in the web interface if accessible.Affected if Unable to determine the version of HP Operations Orchestration
-
Compare version against affected rangesReview the identified version number. Affected versions are: 7.1, 7.2, and any version 7.5 or earlier (versions <= 7.5).Affected if The installed version is 7.1, 7.2, or any version 7.5 or lower
-
Verify if the web interface is accessibleCheck if the HP Operations Orchestration web interface (typically on port 8080 or 8443) is exposed and accessible. Attempt to access the login page or check if the application responds to HTTP requests.Affected if The web interface is accessible and the application is running
-
Determine if users authenticate to the systemConfirm whether the HP Operations Orchestration system has active user accounts and if users log in to perform operations. CSRF attacks require authenticated sessions to be exploitable.Affected if Users authenticate to the HP Operations Orchestration web interface
A system is affected if HP Operations Orchestration versions 7.1, 7.2, or any version 7.5 or earlier are installed and the web interface with user authentication is in use.

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 to HP Operations Orchestration version 9 or later which contains the fix. Additionally, implement anti-CSRF tokens on all state-changing operations as a defense-in-depth measure.
