dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm CoreHR Core Portal is installedLocate the CoreHR installation directory or check for running services named 'CoreHR' or 'Core Portal' on the systemAffected if The CoreHR Core Portal software is present on the system
-
Identify the installed CoreHR versionCheck the application's about page, version file, or configuration files within the CoreHR installation directory for a version stringAffected if The installed version is 27.0.0, 27.0.1, 27.0.2, 27.0.3, 27.0.4, 27.0.5, 27.0.6, or 27.0.7
-
Verify CSRF protection mechanism statusExamine the application configuration or inspect HTTP responses when performing actions in the portal to check for anti-CSRF token presence in forms and requestsAffected if Anti-CSRF tokens are missing from portal forms and requests, indicating the vulnerable configuration is active
The environment is affected if CoreHR Core Portal is installed and running any version between 27.0.0 and 27.0.7, where CSRF protection is not properly enforced.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade CoreHR Core Portal to version 27.0.8 or later to address the CSRF vulnerability. This is a straightforward version upgrade that includes the security fix.
CoreHR Core Portal version 27.0.8
