CVE-2019-13199
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 · uneditedSome Kyocera printers (such as the ECOSYS M5526cdw 2R7_2000.001.701) did not implement any mechanism to avoid CSRF. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to the takeover of a local account on the device.
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 confidenceKyocera ECOSYS M5526cdw and potentially other models lack CSRF protection in their web administration interface. An attacker could craft malicious requests that execute with the privileges of an authenticated user, enabling local account takeover.

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 the device modelAccess the printer web interface (typically http://<printer-ip>) and locate the device information or status page. Look for the model name (ECOSYS M5526cdw or similar Kyocera devices).Affected if The device is a Kyocera ECOSYS M5526cdw or related model with a web administration interface.
-
Check the firmware versionIn the printer web interface, navigate to the Status, Device Info, or About section. Locate the firmware version field. It should display a version string such as '2r7_2000.001.701'.Affected if The installed firmware version is exactly 2r7_2000.001.701.
-
Verify network accessibility of the web interfaceConfirm the printer web administration interface is reachable over the network by accessing http://<printer-ip> from a browser. Check if the login page or status page loads.Affected if The web interface is accessible over the network and an attacker could potentially send requests to it.
-
Confirm lack of anti-CSRF protectionInspect the HTML forms in the web interface (especially in sections for user account management, network settings, or device configuration). Look for hidden CSRF token fields in POST requests. Examine if the application validates the Origin or Referer headers.Affected if State-changing operations (such as changing admin credentials, network settings, or user accounts) lack anti-CSRF tokens or origin validation in their form submissions.
A user is affected if they have a Kyocera ECOSYS M5526cdw device running firmware version 2r7_2000.001.701 with an accessible web administration interface that lacks CSRF protection 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 or same-origin validation for all state-changing operations in the printer web interface.
