**ATTENTION:**Remotely exploitable/low skill level to exploit.
Vendor: OSIsoft
Equipment: PI Web API 2017
Vulnerability: Cross-Site Request Forgery
OSIsoft reports that the vulnerability affects the following PI Web API products:
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow an attacker to access the PI System with the privileges of a legitimate client user. PI System data alteration is possible if the client user has sufficient access to write data.
OSIsoft recommends that users upgrade to the PI Web API version 2017 (1.9.0) and enable CSRF defense. To enable this option, set the configuration attribute โEnableCSRFDefenseโ to โTrueโ in the PI Web API System Configuration element. This element is located at the path โโฆ\OSIsoft\PI Web API\PIWebAPIMachineName\System Configurationโ in PI AF Server Configuration database.
A new installation of PI Web API 2017 (1.9.0) enables CSRF protection by default.
