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
IBM CICS TX Standard 11.1 is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery which could allow an attacker to execute malicious and unauthorized actions transmitted from a user that the website trusts.

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 confidence

IBM CICS TX Standard 11.1 contains a cross-site request forgery vulnerability. An attacker could craft malicious requests that trick authenticated users into performing unauthorized actions within the application, potentially compromising data integrity or executing administrative functions.

MitigationImplement anti-CSRF tokens for all state-changing operations and configure SameSite cookie attributes to prevent cross-origin requests. Additionally, implement proper origin validation and consider Same-Origin Policy enforcement.

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. Verify IBM CICS TX version 11.1.0.0 is installed
    Check the installed version of IBM CICS TX Standard through the system inventory, about page, or administrative interface
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 11.1.0.0
  2. Inspect web application forms for anti-CSRF tokens
    Use browser developer tools or fetch HTML pages from the IBM CICS TX web interface and examine state-changing forms for hidden anti-CSRF token fields
    Affected if Forms lack anti-CSRF token fields or validation is not enforced server-side
  3. Check SameSite cookie attributes
    Examine session cookies Set-Cookie headers in HTTP responses using browser developer tools or a proxy, looking for SameSite attribute
    Affected if Cookies lack SameSite attribute or are set to SameSite=None without the Secure flag
  4. Verify Origin header validation
    Send a test request to the application with a mismatched or absent Origin header and observe whether the server accepts or rejects it
    Affected if The server accepts requests without validating the Origin header

The environment is affected if IBM CICS TX Standard 11.1.0.0 is running and the web application is missing anti-CSRF token protections, proper SameSite cookie attributes, or Origin header validation.
