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

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Rootspersona library allows attackers to trick authenticated users into submitting unintended state-changing requests. The lack of anti-CSRF token validation or proper Origin/Referer header checking enables malicious actors to perform actions on behalf of victims.

MitigationImplement anti-CSRF synchronizer tokens for all POST/PUT/DELETE operations and validate Origin/Referer headers server-side to ensure requests originate from trusted sources.

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 Rootspersona library usage
    Search your codebase for imports or references to 'rootspersona', 'Rootspersona', or 'root-persona' packages. Check your package.json, requirements.txt, or equivalent dependency file for the rootspersona library entry.
    Affected if The Rootspersona library is present in your dependencies or codebase
  2. Locate state-changing endpoints
    Review your application source code for POST, PUT, and DELETE endpoints that utilize the Rootspersona library. Search for route handlers or API endpoints that process requests through rootspersona functions.
    Affected if Your application exposes POST/PUT/DELETE endpoints using Rootspersona that handle sensitive operations
  3. Check for anti-CSRF token validation
    Inspect the request handlers for the identified endpoints. Look for code that extracts and validates a CSRF token from request parameters, headers, or cookies. Search for patterns like 'csrf', 'xsrf', 'synchronizer token', or 'token validation' in the relevant source files.
    Affected if No anti-CSRF token validation logic exists in the state-changing endpoint handlers
  4. Verify Origin/Referer header validation
    Examine the middleware or request handling code for checks that validate the Origin or Referer HTTP headers against an allowlist of trusted domains. Look for code that compares request.headers.origin or request.headers.referer against known safe values.
    Affected if No Origin or Referer header validation is performed before processing requests
  5. Test for CSRF vulnerability
    Using a browser or HTTP tool, attempt to send a state-changing request (POST/PUT/DELETE) to the Rootspersona endpoint without including an anti-CSRF token or with a mismatched Origin header. Observe whether the request is processed successfully.
    Affected if The request succeeds without a valid CSRF token or with an arbitrary Origin header

You are affected if your application uses the Rootspersona library and processes state-changing requests without validating anti-CSRF tokens or checking Origin/Referer headers.
