CVE-2014-4188
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 Hitachi Tuning Manager before 7.6.1-06 and 8.x before 8.0.0-04 and JP1/Performance Management - Manager Web Option 07-00 through 07-54 allows remote attackers 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.

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 installed Hitachi productsCheck for Hitachi Tuning Manager or JP1/Performance Management installations by reviewing installed programs, product directories (commonly under C:\Program Files\Hitachi or /opt/hitachi), or running services matching these product namesAffected if Either Hitachi Tuning Manager or JP1/Performance Management Manager Web Option is installed
-
Determine installed version of Tuning ManagerCheck product version via the Tuning Manager web interface (usually accessible on port 23015/23016), or inspect version files in the installation directory such as version.ini or about.html within the HTM directoryAffected if Version is 6.0.0, 7.1.0, 7.6.1, or 8.0.0 without corresponding patches applied
-
Determine installed version of JP1/Performance ManagementCheck JP1/Performance Management version through the JP1/Performance Management Manager Web Option interface or check version information in the JP1 installation directoryAffected if Version is 07-00 or 07-54 without corresponding patches applied
-
Verify web interface is accessibleConfirm the web-based manager interface is enabled and reachable by accessing the product URL (typically https://hostname:port/htm or similar web endpoint)Affected if The web interface is exposed and active, allowing authenticated users to submit requests that could be CSRF-targeted
You are affected if Hitachi Tuning Manager (versions 6.0.0, 7.1.0, 7.6.1, or 8.0.0) or JP1/Performance Management Manager Web Option (versions 07-00 or 07-54) with an active web interface is installed without the vendor patches applied.

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 the vendor patches (7.6.1-06 for version 7.x, 8.0.0-04 for version 8.x, and appropriate updates for JP1/Performance Management) which implement anti-CSRF token validation in all forms and state-changing operations.
