CVE-2019-18375
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 ASG and ProxySG management consoles are susceptible to a session hijacking vulnerability. A remote attacker, with access to the appliance management interface, can hijack the session of a currently logged-in user and access the management console.
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 confidenceThis is a session hijacking vulnerability in the ASG and ProxySG management consoles. A remote attacker with access to the appliance management interface can intercept or predict session identifiers to take over an active session of a legitimate logged-in user, thereby gaining unauthorized administrative access to the management console.

Affected products & versions What the vendor confirmedThe version ranges the vendor confirmed as vulnerable. If your version sits inside a range here, treat yourself as exposed until you have upgraded.

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 product and versionLog into the management console or use the CLI to determine the exact product (ASG or ProxySG) and installed version numberAffected if The installed version falls within >= 6.7.4 but < 6.7.4.10, OR >= 7.1 but < 7.2.0.1
-
Confirm management console is activeVerify that the management interface (HTTP/HTTPS) is currently running and accessible on the applianceAffected if The management console is enabled and reachable on the network
-
Check session token configurationIf accessible, inspect the session management settings in the management console configuration or CLI for session timeout and token generation settingsAffected if Long session timeouts or default session token configuration are in use, indicating a larger attack window for hijacking
-
Review management access controlsCheck firewall or access control settings to determine if management console is exposed to untrusted networksAffected if Management interface is accessible from untrusted or public network segments
You are affected if the installed version is within the vulnerable ranges AND the management console is accessible to potential attackers.

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 data6.7.4.107.2.0.1
Apply the vendor patch from Broadcom when available. In the interim, restrict management console access to trusted IP addresses/networks via firewall rules and enforce short session timeouts to reduce the window of opportunity for hijacking.
