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 · unedited
Dell EMC Data Protection Central versions 19.1, 19.2, 19.3, 19.4, 19.5, 19.6, contain(s) a Cross-Site Request Forgery Vulnerability. A(n) remote unauthenticated attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to processing of unintended server operations.

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 confidence

Dell EMC Data Protection Central versions 19.1-19.6 contain a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability. This allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to trick authenticated users into unknowingly submitting malicious requests to the server, potentially leading to unauthorized server operations being processed.

MitigationImplement anti-CSRF tokens for state-changing operations, validate Origin/Referer headers server-side, and configure SameSite attributes on session cookies to prevent cross-site request forgery attacks.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the installed Dell EMC Data Protection Central version
    Access the product's About or Version information page in the administrative console, or run the product's version check command if available in the management interface
    Affected if The reported version is 19.1, 19.2, 19.3, 19.4, 19.5, or 19.6 (any version >= 19.1 but < 19.7)
  2. Confirm user authentication is required for exploitation
    Verify that the Data Protection Central administrative interface requires user authentication to access state-changing functions
    Affected if The interface allows authenticated sessions and the attacker can trick a logged-in user into submitting requests
  3. Inspect session cookie configuration
    Log into the Data Protection Central interface and use browser developer tools or a proxy to examine the Set-Cookie headers for session cookies. Look for the SameSite attribute
    Affected if Session cookies lack the SameSite=Strict or SameSite=Lax attribute, or the SameSite attribute is missing entirely
  4. Check for anti-CSRF token implementation
    Examine the application's form submissions and AJAX requests through a proxy. Look for any token parameters in POST requests that change state (configuration changes, user management, etc.)
    Affected if State-changing requests do not include anti-CSRF tokens or unique request identifiers, or the server does not validate Origin/Referer headers

You are affected if the installed Data Protection Central version is 19.1 through 19.6 and the application lacks anti-CSRF protections such as tokens and SameSite cookie attributes.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 19.7 or later
Fixed in 19.7
Interim mitigation

Implement anti-CSRF tokens for state-changing operations, validate Origin/Referer headers server-side, and configure SameSite attributes on session cookies to prevent cross-site request forgery attacks.
