CVE-2025-54969
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 · uneditedAn issue was discovered in BAE SOCET GXP before 4.6.0.2. The SOCET GXP Job Status Service does not implement CSRF protections. An attacker who social engineers a valid user into clicking a malicious link or visiting a malicious website may be able to submit requests to the Job Status Service without the user's knowledge.
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 confidenceThe BAE SOCET GXP Job Status Service lacks CSRF protection mechanisms, allowing attackers to forge authenticated requests. An attacker can trick a logged-in user into unknowingly submitting requests to the Job Status Service by leveraging social engineering techniques such as malicious links or websites.

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 SOCET GXP versionLocate the installed BAE Systems SOCET GXP version through the application GUI, Help > About menu, or product documentation. If using a command-line interface, check the version using the product's built-in version command if available.Affected if The installed version is lower than 4.6.0.2 (e.g., 4.5.x, 4.4.x, or earlier releases).
-
Confirm Job Status Service is accessibleVerify the Job Status Service endpoint is exposed and reachable. This is typically a web service component that handles job submission and status queries. Check if the service is enabled in the application configuration or accessible via browser if it has a web interface.Affected if The Job Status Service is enabled and accessible to users.
-
Inspect session cookie configurationLog into the SOCET GXP application and examine the session cookies using browser developer tools (Application/Storage tab) or by intercepting HTTP responses. Look for the SameSite attribute on session cookies.Affected if Session cookies do not have the SameSite attribute set, or it is set to None without Secure flag.
-
Check for anti-CSRF token implementationSubmit a state-changing request to the Job Status Service (such as a job submission) and inspect the HTTP request/response. Look for a CSRF token parameter or header in the request, or a token field in the application forms.Affected if No CSRF token, anti-CSRF token, or synchronizer token pattern is present in requests to the Job Status Service.
The environment is affected if SOCET GXP version is below 4.6.0.2 AND the Job Status Service is accessible AND no CSRF protection (tokens or SameSite cookies) is implemented.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 · scoped4.6.0.2
Implement anti-CSRF tokens (synchronizer token pattern) for all state-changing operations and configure SameSite cookies on session cookies to prevent cross-origin request forgery.
4.6.0.2
- Contact BAE Systems or your authorized SOCET GXP reseller to obtain the version 4.6.0.2 upgrade package
- Obtain and review the official SOCET GXP upgrade documentation from BAE Systems
- Schedule a maintenance window for the upgrade process
- Back up the current SOCET GXP installation and configuration data
- Apply the version 4.6.0.2 upgrade following BAE Systems' documented upgrade procedure
- Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the SOCET GXP version number
- Confirm the Job Status Service is functioning correctly after the upgrade
