CVE-2023-30444Network attack vector

Internal network access via undisclosed SSRF endpoint

Published Apr 27, 2023 · Updated Jan 30, 2025

Server-side request forgery in IBM Watson Machine Learning 4.0 and 4.5 allows remote authenticated users to issue internal requests. IBM has not published the affected endpoint or the validation failure that lets an attacker-controlled destination reach the service's request logic. Valid Cloud Pak for Data credentials are required; successful exploitation can expose internal resources and enable network enumeration.
