CVE-2017-2688
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 integrated web server in Siemens RUGGEDCOM ROX I (all versions) at port 10000/TCP could allow remote attackers to perform actions with the privileges of an authenticated user, provided the targeted user has an active session and is induced into clicking on a malicious link or into visiting a malicious website, aka CSRF.
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 confidenceCross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the integrated web server of Siemens RUGGEDCOM ROX I (all versions) listening on port 10000/TCP. Attackers can execute actions with the privileges of an authenticated user by tricking them into clicking malicious links or visiting malicious websites while they have an active session.

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 if RUGGEDCOM ROX I is presentCheck system inventory or running services for Siemens RUGGEDCOM ROX I software installationAffected if The software is installed on the system
-
Determine installed ROX I versionUse system diagnostics, firmware management interface, or product documentation to retrieve the installed software version numberAffected if The version is 2.9.0 or lower
-
Verify web server is listening on port 10000/TCPRun a network port scan or use 'netstat -an | grep 10000' or 'ss -tlnp | grep 10000' to confirm port 10000/TCP is in LISTEN stateAffected if The web server on port 10000/TCP is active and listening
-
Assess network exposure of port 10000/TCPReview firewall rules, access control lists, or network segmentation to determine if port 10000/TCP is reachable from untrusted networks or the internetAffected if Port 10000/TCP is accessible from untrusted or outside networks without VPN or restrictive ACLs
The environment is affected if RUGGEDCOM ROX I version 2.9.0 or lower is installed with the web server on port 10000/TCP accessible to users who may have active authenticated sessions.

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 in all state-changing web forms and validate the Origin/Referer headers; for immediate risk reduction, restrict access to port 10000/TCP to trusted networks or VPN-only access, and expire sessions proactively.
