CVE-2014-2369
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 web application on Omron NS5, NS8, NS10, NS12, and NS15 HMI terminals 8.1xx through 8.68x allows remote authenticated users 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.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceCross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the web application of Omron NS-series HMI terminals (versions 8.1xx through 8.68x) allows an authenticated remote attacker to send malicious requests that trick authenticated users into performing unintended actions, hijacking their session authentication.

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 device as an Omron NS-series HMI terminalAccess the web interface of the target device (typically via HTTP/HTTPS on ports 80/443 or known Omron ports) and look for Omron NS-series branding, model identification (NS5, NS8, NS10, NS12, NS15), or Omron logo in the web pagesAffected if The device is an Omron NS-series HMI terminal (NS5, NS8, NS10, NS12, or NS15) with an accessible web interface
-
Determine the firmware versionIn the web interface, navigate to the system information, about page, or settings section to retrieve the firmware version. Alternatively, check any SNMP responses or network banner information that reveals the firmware versionAffected if The firmware version is 8.1xx through 8.68x, or if the model is NS10/NS12/NS15/NS5/NS8 with any firmware version (these are listed as all versions affected)
-
Verify the web application is enabled and accessibleConfirm that the HTTP/HTTPS web interface is active by successfully loading a page from the device. The CSRF vulnerability exists in the web application itselfAffected if The web interface is accessible and responds to HTTP/HTTPS requests, indicating the web application component is running
-
Check for anti-CSRF protections in web requestsExamine the web forms and requests generated by the HMI web interface. Look for the presence of anti-CSRF tokens, CSRF tokens, or SameSite cookie attributes in the HTTP response headers and form submissionsAffected if No anti-CSRF tokens are present in web forms and requests, or SameSite attributes are missing from session cookies
You are affected if the target is an Omron NS-series HMI terminal (NS5, NS8, NS10, NS12, or NS15) running firmware version 8.1xx through 8.68x, or any firmware version for NS10/NS12/NS15/NS5/NS8, with the web interface enabled and no anti-CSRF protections implemented.

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 dataApply vendor-supplied firmware update to upgrade beyond version 8.68x; implement anti-CSRF tokens or SameSite cookie attributes in the interim if vendor update is unavailable.
