Sensitive-data access via unrestricted TestWfsPost requests
Published Jun 10, 2025 · Updated Jun 17, 2025
SSRF in GeoServer 2.0.0 through 2.24.3 and 2.25.0 through 2.25.1 allows remote attackers to read network-accessible data. The unauthenticated TestWfsPost Demo endpoint accepts an attacker-supplied request destination and makes the request from the server without restricting it to expected targets. The endpoint is exposed when Proxy Base URL is unset, enabling internal-network enumeration and access to sensitive resources such as cloud-instance metadata.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
