CVE-2016-0348
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 IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform 3.3, 3.3.1, 3.3.2, and 3.4 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of arbitrary users for requests that insert XSS sequences. IBM X-Force ID: 111813.
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 confidenceCSRF vulnerability in IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform allows remote attackers to hijack authenticated user sessions and inject XSS sequences through crafted malicious requests. The flaw affects versions 3.3 through 3.4.

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 IBM TRIRIGA versionAccess the TRIRIGA administration console or check the installation directory for version metadata files. Alternatively, query the application's built-in 'About' or system information page typically found at /tririga/about or through the admin dashboard.Affected if The installed version matches 3.3.0.0, 3.3.1.0, 3.3.2.0, or 3.4.0.0 exactly, or falls within the 3.3 through 3.4 release range.
-
Determine if web interface is exposedVerify that the TRIRIGA web application is accessible over HTTP/HTTPS. Check network configuration to confirm external or internal access to the TRIRIGA portal URLs.Affected if The web interface is accessible and users authenticate to the platform.
-
Inspect form submissions for anti-CSRF tokensLog into TRIRIGA as a standard user and examine the HTML source of forms that perform state-changing operations (such as creating/updating records, modifying user settings, or submitting workflows). Look for hidden input fields containing token values or similar CSRF protection mechanisms.Affected if Forms lack anti-CSRF tokens or similar request validation mechanisms.
-
Check request header validationUse a web proxy or browser developer tools to intercept state-changing requests. Verify whether the application validates the Referer or Origin headers to confirm request origin.Affected if The application does not validate Referer or Origin headers on state-changing requests.
A user is affected if their TRIRIGA installation version is 3.3.0.0, 3.3.1.0, 3.3.2.0, or 3.4.0.0 AND the application lacks anti-CSRF token validation on state-changing operations.

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 dataImplement anti-CSRF tokens for state-changing operations and validate request origin/referer headers. Additionally, apply output encoding and input validation to prevent XSS injection via the CSRF vector.
