Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GeoServer versions 2.18.5 and earlier GeoServer versions 2.19.x through 2.19.2

Description The issue allows for Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) via the option for setting a proxy host. This means an attacker could potentially force the server to make requests to arbitrary hosts, potentially leading to unauthorized access or information disclosure.

Recommendations For GeoServer versions 2.18.5 and earlier, update to a version later than 2.18.5. For GeoServer versions 2.19.x through 2.19.2, update to a version later than 2.19.2. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the proxy host setting to minimize the risk of exploitation.
