CVE-2017-2682
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 · uneditedThe Siemens web application RUGGEDCOM NMS < V1.2 on port 8080/TCP and 8081/TCP could allow a remote attacker to perform a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack, potentially allowing an attacker to execute administrative operations, provided the targeted user has an active session and is induced to trigger a malicious request.
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 confidenceSiemens RUGGEDCOM NMS versions prior to V1.2 contain a CSRF vulnerability on ports 8080/TCP and 8081/TCP. An attacker can craft malicious requests that execute administrative operations when a user with an active session is tricked into triggering them, bypassing authentication due to lack of CSRF token validation.

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 RUGGEDCOM NMS versionAccess the web management interface and check the version information typically displayed in the login page, 'About' section, or system status page. Alternatively, check installation documentation or the software itself for the version number.Affected if The version is 2.0.2 or lower, or any version prior to V1.2.
-
Verify ports 8080/TCP and 8081/TCP are listeningRun a network port scan using tools such as 'nmap -p 8080,8081 <target>' or 'netstat -an | grep -E '808[01]'' on the RUGGEDCOM NMS server to determine if these ports are open and listening.Affected if Either port 8080/TCP or 8081/TCP is open and accepting connections.
-
Confirm web interface is accessible on vulnerable portsAttempt HTTP access to the management interface by browsing to http://<hostname>:8080 or http://<hostname>:8081, or using curl/wget to verify the web service responds.Affected if The web interface responds on port 8080 or 8081 without requiring additional security validation.
-
Assess CSRF protection statusInspect HTTP responses from the web interface using browser developer tools or a proxy to observe whether anti-CSRF tokens are included in forms that perform state-changing operations (such as configuration changes or admin actions).Affected if Forms performing administrative operations do not contain anti-CSRF tokens or do not validate Origin/Referer headers.
You are affected if RUGGEDCOM NMS version is 2.0.2 or lower, ports 8080/TCP or 8081/TCP are open, and the web interface lacks CSRF token validation on state-changing requests.

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 dataUpgrade RUGGEDCOM NMS to version V1.2 or later. Additionally, implement anti-CSRF tokens for all state-changing operations and validate the Origin/Referer headers.
