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
In Sherpa Orchestrator 141851, the web application lacks protection against CSRF attacks, with resultant effects of an attacker conducting XSS attacks, adding a new user or role, or exploiting a SQL injection issue.

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

The Sherpa Orchestrator 141851 web application lacks CSRF protection, allowing attackers to craft malicious requests that execute actions on behalf of authenticated users. This vulnerability can be leveraged to perform XSS attacks, add unauthorized users or roles, or trigger SQL injection vulnerabilities.

MitigationImplement CSRF token validation for all state-changing operations and enforce SameSite cookie attributes to prevent cross-site request forgery, while also addressing the secondary XSS and SQL injection vectors.

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 Sherpa Orchestrator version
    Locate and inspect the installed Sherpa Orchestrator version number through the application admin interface, system diagnostics, or installed packages/configuration files. Compare against version 141851.
    Affected if Installed version equals exactly 141851
  2. Inspect forms for CSRF token presence
    Review HTML source code of state-changing forms (user management, role assignment, configuration changes) to determine if a CSRF token or anti-CSRF token field is present in the form markup.
    Affected if Forms lack CSRF token fields or tokens are missing from form submissions
  3. Verify SameSite cookie attributes
    Examine browser developer tools or proxy logs to inspect session cookies Set-Cookie headers for the SameSite attribute. Check if SameSite=Strict or SameSite=Lax is configured.
    Affected if Cookies lack SameSite attribute or have SameSite=None without Secure flag
  4. Test state-changing endpoints for CSRF protection
    Send a crafted request to state-changing API endpoints (user creation, role modification, data manipulation) without an anti-CSRF token to observe if the action executes successfully.
    Affected if Requests execute without CSRF token validation

Environment is affected if the installed Sherpa Orchestrator version is exactly 141851 and state-changing operations lack CSRF token validation or proper SameSite cookie attributes.
