CVE-2026-40549
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 · uneditedSOPlanning is vulnerable to Cross‑Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in groupe_save create, modify and delete endpoints. An attacker can craft a malicious website that, when visited by an authenticated user, automatically sends a forged GET or POST request to the application. This issue affects SOPlanning version 1.55 and below.
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 confidenceSOPlanning versions 1.55 and below lack anti-CSRF protection on the groupe_save create, modify, and delete endpoints. An attacker can trick an authenticated user into visiting a malicious page that silently submits forged GET or POST requests to perform unauthorized group operations.

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.
-
Check SOPlanning installed versionLocate the version identifier in the application (typically in an about page, footer, or version file included with the installation). Compare it to the affected range: version 1.55 and below.Affected if The installed version is 1.55 or lower.
-
Identify groupe_save endpointsLocate the server-side scripts or API handlers that handle group management operations. Look for paths or functions named groupe_save, groupe_create, groupe_modify, or groupe_delete.Affected if These group management endpoints exist in the installation.
-
Verify CSRF token presence on group formsAccess the group creation and modification forms in the web interface. View the page source or inspect form submissions to check for a hidden CSRF token field (commonly named token, csrf_token, or similar).Affected if No anti-CSRF token field is present in group management forms.
-
Test endpoint for CSRF protectionSend a forged request to the groupe_save endpoint (without a valid token) from an external origin (e.g., using curl from a different host). Check if the server rejects the request or processes it without validating origin/token.Affected if The server accepts and processes the request without rejecting it based on missing or invalid CSRF tokens.
-
Check SameSite cookie attributesInspect the session cookie set by SOPlanning. Look for the Set-Cookie header or browser developer tools to verify if the SameSite attribute is configured.Affected if Session cookies lack SameSite attribute or are set to None without secure flag.
A user is affected if SOPlanning version is 1.55 or below AND the groupe_save endpoints process requests without validating CSRF tokens or origin headers.

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 · scopedImplement synchronizer token pattern (anti-CSRF tokens) on all state-changing forms and validate Origin/Referer headers server-side.
SOPlanning version 1.56 or later
- 1. Navigate to the official SOPlanning website (www.soplanning.org) or contact the vendor directly to obtain version 1.56 or later
- 2. Download the latest stable release of SOPlanning (version 1.56 or higher)
- 3. Before upgrading, perform a complete backup of the existing SOPlanning installation including the database and configuration files
- 4. Follow the vendor's documented upgrade procedure to install the new version
- 5. After upgrading, verify that the CSRF protection is properly implemented by testing the groupe_save endpoints (create, modify, delete) with a CSRF token
- 6. Ensure all authenticated users log out and log back in to obtain new session tokens
