01

What, why and how

A Server-Side Request Forgery vulnerability in the SonicOS SSH management interface allows a remote attacker to establish a TCP connection to an IP address on any port when the user is logged in to the firewall.

What

A Server-Side Request Forgery vulnerability in the SonicOS SSH management interface allows a remote attacker to establish a TCP connection to an IP address on any port when the user is logged in to the firewall.

Why

The server follows an attacker-influenced destination, allowing requests to systems or services the attacker cannot reach directly.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
a network path → Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor

None: unauthenticated exploitation is possible

Security boundary
Unchanged: impact remains within the vulnerable component's security authority
Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-918

CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). The web server receives a URL or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this URL, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N

Common Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

AVNetworkAttack vector: The vulnerable component can be reached over a network.ACLowAttack complexity: No specialised conditions are required beyond attacker-controlled input.PRNonePrivileges required: The attacker does not need an account or existing privileges.UINoneUser interaction: No action by another user is required.SUnchangedScope: The security impact remains within the vulnerable component's authority.CNoneConfidentiality impact: No direct loss is represented by this metric.IHighIntegrity impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.ANoneAvailability impact: No direct loss is represented by this metric.
Post-exploitation / living off the land
No specific living-off-the-land technique is confirmed in the structured sources. Monitor normal administration tools for activity inconsistent with the affected service's baseline.

Ein lokaler oder entfernter anonymer Angreifer kann diese Schwachstellen ausnutzen, um Root-Rechte zu erlangen, beliebigen Code auszuführen, vertrauliche Informationen preiszugeben, die Authentifizierung zu umgehen oder einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand zu erzeugen.

NCSC-NL · Dutch · NCSC-2025-0004Kwetsbaarheden verholpen in SonicWall SonicOS

De eerste kwetsbaarheid betreft een zwakke pseudo-willekeurige getallengenerator in de SSLVPN (CVE-2024-40762), waardoor aanvallers in sommige gevallen authenticatietokens kunnen voorspellen. CVE-2024-53704 betreft een onjuiste authenticatie in de SSLVPN, waardoor externe aanvallers de authenticatie kunnen omzeilen. CVE-2024-53705 betreft een server-side request forgery kwetsbaarheid in de SSH-beheerinterface, die TCP-verbindingen naar willekeurige IP-adressen toestaat. Tot slot betreft CVE-2024-53706 een lokale privilege-escalatie kwetsbaarheid in het Gen7 SonicOS Cloud-platform, waardoor laaggeprivilegieerde op afstand geauthenticeerde aanvallers roottoegang kunnen verkrijgen en mogelijkerwijze willekeurige code uit kunnen voeren. Onderzoekers hebben Proof-of-Concept-code (PoC) gepubliceerd waarmee de kwetsbaarheid met kenmerk CVE-2024-53704 kan worden aangetoond. Succesvol misbruik vereist dat er minstens één actieve VPN-sessie aanwezig is op het kwetsbare systeem. De kwaadwillende kan dan die sessie overnemen, maar heeft niet voldoende controle om de sessie open te houden wanneer de gebruiker de VPN-verbinding verbreekt, of de mogelijkheid zelf een nieuwe sessie op te bouwen. Succesvol misbruik en eventuele vervolgschade is dus afhankelijk van de tijd die de kwaadwillende krijgt in de actieve sessie en de rechten van het slachtoffer. De PoC is dermate eenvoudig van opzet, dat inmiddels meldingen zijn waargenomen van actief misbruik.
