CVE-2025-46385: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) Vulnerability
CVE-2025-46385 describes a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability. An attacker can potentially trick the server into making requests to unintended locations, leading to information disclosure or other malicious actions.
Vulnerability Details
- CVE ID: CVE-2025-46385
- Description: The vulnerability is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF).
- CVSS Score: 8.6 (High)
- CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N
- CVSS Explanation: This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 8.6, which is considered high. The attack vector is network-based and doesn't require any privileges or user interaction. A successful exploit could result in a change of scope and high impact to integrity. Confidentiality and availability are not impacted.
- Exploit Requirements: Network access to the vulnerable service.
- Affected Vendor/Product/Version: Details of the vendor, product, and version affected are currently not available. More information will be added once released by the vendor.
- CWE: CWE-918 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
- CWE Explanation: A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability occurs when an application allows an attacker to control or modify the destination to which the server sends a request. This can be exploited to access internal resources, read sensitive data, or even execute arbitrary code.

Exploitability & Real-World Risk
SSRF vulnerabilities can pose a significant risk. An attacker can use this flaw to scan internal networks, bypass firewalls, and access sensitive data that is not directly exposed to the internet. In some cases, they can even execute arbitrary code on internal systems. This could lead to a complete compromise of the targeted environment.
Recommendations
- Ensure input validation and sanitization for any user-supplied URLs.
- Implement network segmentation to restrict access to internal resources.
- Use a whitelist of allowed destinations for outbound requests.
- Regularly update your systems and applications with the latest security patches.
- Monitor network traffic for suspicious activity.
Technical Insight
SSRF vulnerabilities arise when an application takes a URL from user input without proper validation. For example, if a feature renders a webpage preview based on a URL provided by the user, an attacker might replace that URL with an internal IP address, allowing them to view internal files or services. This happens because the server trusts the URL implicitly and doesn't validate that the destination is an external and safe resource.
