AI Analysis

Impact

A flaw in RackTables up to 0.22.0 permits attackers to forge cross‑site requests because the application lacks CSRF protections. By tricking an authenticated user into submitting a crafted request, an attacker could initiate state‑changing operations such as modifying configuration or inventory data. The weakness is rooted in missing CSRF tokens (CWE‑352) and inadequate authorization checks (CWE‑862).

Affected Systems

RackTables, specifically all releases up to and including 0.22.0 (commit e5fff9f8aab339798ed47e8c6d7d977ed97a82bd). No other vendors or products are listed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a medium severity, and the vulnerability is not yet in CISA’s KEV list. EPSS information is unavailable, so the precise likelihood of exploitation cannot be quantified, but the lack of CSRF defenses means virtually any browser session could be abused from a remote web page. Therefore, the risk is moderate to high for environments where RackTables is exposed to the Internet and users may be susceptible to phishing or malicious content.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade RackTables to the latest release once a patch is available and regularly monitor the vendor for updates.
  • Add CSRF tokens to all state‑changing forms and enforce server‑side validation to eliminate the core weakness.
  • Configure session cookies with the SameSite attribute or employ additional headers to restrict cross‑origin requests, thereby reducing CSRF impact.
