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 Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2(0.103) and 2.0(0.0) allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of arbitrary users, aka Bug IDs CSCum49054 and CSCum49059.
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 confidenceThis is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Cisco Prime Infrastructure versions 1.2(0.103) and 2.0(0.0). The vulnerability allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of arbitrary users by tricking authenticated users into submitting malicious requests, potentially enabling unauthorized actions on behalf of the victim.

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 Cisco Prime Infrastructure versionLog into the Prime Infrastructure web interface and navigate to Administration > Settings > Software Updates, or use the CLI command 'show version' to determine the installed software version.Affected if The installed version is 1.2.0.103 or 2.0 exactly.
-
Confirm web interface accessibilityVerify that the Prime Infrastructure web interface is accessible by attempting to reach the login page via HTTP/HTTPS.Affected if The web interface is reachable, which is required for the CSRF attack vector to function.
-
Check for active user sessionsReview active authenticated sessions in the Prime Infrastructure admin panel to see if users are currently logged in.Affected if Authenticated sessions exist, as CSRF attacks target users with active sessions.
-
Verify network exposureDetermine if the Prime Infrastructure web interface is accessible from networks beyond localhost or trusted internal networks.Affected if The interface is exposed to less trusted networks, increasing the likelihood of CSRF exploitation via malicious links.
A user is affected if Cisco Prime Infrastructure version 1.2.0.103 or 2.0 is installed and the web interface is accessible to authenticated users who could potentially click malicious links.

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 patch from Cisco for this vulnerability. In the interim, users should avoid clicking untrusted links while authenticated to Prime Infrastructure and should log out when not in use.
