CVE-2014-3058
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 on the IBM WebSphere DataPower XC10 appliance 2.1 and 2.5 before FP4 allows remote authenticated users to hijack the authentication of arbitrary users for requests that insert XSS sequences.
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 confidenceCSRF vulnerability in IBM WebSphere DataPower XC10 appliances versions 2.1 and 2.5 before Fix Pack 4 allows remote authenticated attackers to hijack arbitrary users' authentication by crafting malicious requests that insert XSS sequences.

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 DataPower XC10 firmware versionAccess the appliance web management interface and navigate to the About or System Information section, or use the CLI command 'show version' to retrieve the firmware versionAffected if The installed version is 2.1.0.0 through 2.1.x or 2.5.0.0 through 2.5.x without Fix Pack 4 installed
-
Confirm the Fix Pack levelCheck the installed fixes or patches through the web interface under Maintenance or through the CLI command 'show software' or 'show fixes' to list all applied fix packsAffected if Fix Pack 4 or later is NOT installed on versions 2.1 or 2.5
-
Determine if web management interface is accessibleVerify network accessibility to the appliance web interface on the configured management port (typically 443 or 8443) from external networksAffected if The web management interface is reachable from network segments accessible to untrusted users
-
Verify authentication is required for the web interfaceConfirm that the web management interface enforces authentication by attempting access without credentials or checking the authentication configuration in the appliance settingsAffected if The interface accepts authenticated sessions, which is required for the CSRF attack to hijack user sessions
You are affected if your DataPower XC10 runs firmware version 2.1 or 2.5 without Fix Pack 4 applied and the web management interface is accessible to remote users.

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 IBM WebSphere DataPower XC10 Fix Pack 4 or later to address the CSRF vulnerability; verify that XSS protection mechanisms are functioning correctly after the update.
