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 · unedited
Inedo ProGet before 5.0 Beta5 has CSRF, allowing an attacker to change advanced settings.

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 confidence

Inedo ProGet before version 5.0 Beta5 contains a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability that allows remote attackers to trick authenticated administrators into unknowingly submitting malicious requests that change advanced system settings.

MitigationUpgrade Inedo ProGet to version 5.0 Beta5 or later which includes CSRF protection mechanisms.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify ProGet installation and version
    Locate the ProGet installation directory or check the service information to find the installed version number. Compare this version against the affected range (versions before 5.0.4).
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 5.0.4
  2. Verify ProGet web interface is accessible
    Access the ProGet web console through a browser or check if the HTTP/HTTPS service is running and accepting connections.
    Affected if ProGet is running and accessible over the network
  3. Confirm admin authentication is in use
    Determine whether the ProGet instance has administrator accounts configured and whether the web interface requires authentication. CSRF attacks target authenticated administrator sessions.
    Affected if Administrator accounts exist and the web interface accepts authenticated sessions
  4. Check for CSRF protection mechanisms
    If possible, examine the application's response headers or settings to determine if CSRF tokens or SameSite attributes are implemented for administrative actions.
    Affected if CSRF protection is not implemented or can be bypassed for admin actions

A user is affected if Inedo ProGet version is below 5.0.4, the web interface is accessible, and administrator authentication is in use, allowing attackers to potentially trick admins into executing unintended configuration changes.
