CVE-2026-25812
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 · uneditedPlaciPy is a placement management system designed for educational institutions. In version 1.0.0, the application enables credentialed CORS requests but does not implement any CSRF protection mechanism.
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 confidencePlaciPy 1.0.0 permits credentialed Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) requests but lacks any Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection mechanism. This combination allows attackers to potentially execute unauthorized actions on behalf of authenticated users by tricking them into visiting malicious sites that make requests to the vulnerable application with their credentials.

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.
-
Confirm PlaciPy installation and versionIdentify the installed PlaciPy package version using your package manager (pip, npm, or similar) or by inspecting the application metadata files.Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.0.0 of Prasklatechnology Placipy.
-
Verify CORS configuration with credentialsInspect the application's CORS configuration settings or source code for Access-Control-Allow-Credentials header or equivalent credential-enabled CORS policy.Affected if CORS is configured to allow credentials (Access-Control-Allow-Credentials is set to true or credentials are enabled in the CORS settings).
-
Check for CSRF protection mechanismReview the application's authentication and request validation code to determine if any CSRF protection exists, such as anti-CSRF tokens, SameSite cookie attributes, or double-submit cookie patterns.Affected if No CSRF protection mechanism is implemented in the application.
-
Inspect allowed CORS originsExamine the CORS configuration to identify which origins are permitted, particularly for credentialed endpoints.Affected if CORS allows origins that are not explicitly trusted or uses a wildcard origin with credentials enabled.
A user is affected if they are running PlaciPy version 1.0.0 with credentialed CORS requests enabled and no CSRF protection implemented in their deployment.
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.
From vendor dataImplement CSRF protection (anti-CSRF tokens, SameSite cookie attributes, or double-submit cookie patterns) and restrict CORS configuration to trusted origins only, especially for credentialed endpoints.
