CVE-2025-4375
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 · uneditedCross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Sparx Systems Pro Cloud Server allows Cross-Site Request Forgery to perform Session Hijacking. Cross-Site Request Forgery is present at the whole application but it can be used to change the Pro Cloud Server Configuration password. This issue affects Pro Cloud Server: earlier than 6.0.165.
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 confidenceCross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Sparx Systems Pro Cloud Server allows authenticated users to be tricked into performing unintended actions, specifically changing the Pro Cloud Server Configuration password. This password change can lead to session hijacking as attackers can then access the system with the newly set credentials. The vulnerability affects all endpoints in the application and exists in versions earlier than 6.0.165.

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 installed Pro Cloud Server versionAccess the Pro Cloud Server administration interface or check the software installation directory for version information. Common locations include the About section in the admin panel or the server's main executable/dll properties.Affected if The installed version is earlier than 6.0.165 (for example, 6.0.160 or any version number less than 6.0.165)
-
Verify access to Configuration password settingsLog into the Pro Cloud Server admin interface and navigate to the Configuration or Settings section where the Pro Cloud Server Configuration password can be modified.Affected if The password change interface is accessible to authenticated users without additional verification steps
-
Check for anti-CSRF token implementationExamine the web requests when changing the Configuration password. Inspect the HTML forms or API calls to determine if a unique anti-CSRF token is required and validated for each state-changing request.Affected if The password change request does not require a unique, session-bound anti-CSRF token
A user is affected if their Pro Cloud Server version is earlier than 6.0.165 AND the password change functionality lacks anti-CSRF token protection.

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 to Pro Cloud Server version 6.0.165 or later. Additionally, implement anti-CSRF tokens for all state-changing operations and configure SameSite cookie attributes as a defense-in-depth measure.
6.0.165 or later
- 1. Identify the current version of Sparx Systems Pro Cloud Server installed in your environment
- 2. Navigate to the official Sparx Systems download page at sparxsystems.com
- 3. Download Pro Cloud Server version 6.0.165 or later
- 4. Back up your current Pro Cloud Server configuration and database before upgrading
- 5. Install the new version following Sparx Systems' standard upgrade procedures
- 6. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the installed version
- 7. Confirm the CSRF protection is now properly implemented
