{"cve":"CVE-2025-34469","nvd":{"published":"2025-12-31T22:15:49.003","modified":"2026-10-08T16:16:52.240","status":"Analyzed","description":"Cowrie versions prior to 2.9.0 contain a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the emulated shell implementation of wget and curl. In the default emulated shell configuration, these command emulations perform real outbound HTTP requests to attacker-supplied destinations. Because no outbound request rate limiting was enforced, unauthenticated remote attackers could repeatedly invoke these commands to generate unbounded HTTP traffic toward arbitrary third-party targets, allowing the Cowrie honeypot to be abused as a denial-of-service amplification node and masking the attacker’s true source address behind the honeypot’s IP.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:L","score":6.9},"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":7.5},"cwes":["CWE-918"],"references":["https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-83jg-m2pm-4jxj","https://github.com/cowrie/cowrie/issues/2622","https://github.com/cowrie/cowrie/pull/2800","https://github.com/cowrie/cowrie/releases/tag/v2.9.0","https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/cowrie-unrestricted-wget-curl-emulation-enables-ssrf-based-ddos-amplification"],"products":["cowrie:cowrie"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:18:08.089039631+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-34469","score":0.00675,"percentile":0.51932,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-83jg-m2pm-4jxj","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-83jg-m2pm-4jxj","summary":"Cowrie has a SSRF vulnerability in wget/curl emulation enabling DDoS amplification","modified":"2026-07-08T07:14:03.064768258Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"cowrie","purl":"pkg:pypi/cowrie","ranges":["<2.9.0"],"fixed":["2.9.0"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2026-1280","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2026-1280","summary":"Cowrie has a SSRF vulnerability in wget/curl emulation enabling DDoS amplification","modified":"2026-07-07T17:47:33.655014040Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"cowrie","purl":"pkg:pypi/cowrie","ranges":["<2.9.0"],"fixed":["2.9.0"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
