{"id":"CVE-2025-34469","summary":"Cowrie \u003c 2.9.0 Unrestricted wget/curl Emulation Enables SSRF-Based DDoS Amplification","details":"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.","aliases":["GHSA-83jg-m2pm-4jxj","PYSEC-2026-1280"],"modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:15.682697123Z","published":"2025-12-31T21:36:19.022Z","database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"VulnCheck","cwe_ids":["CWE-918"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2025/34xxx/CVE-2025-34469.json"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2025/34xxx/CVE-2025-34469.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-83jg-m2pm-4jxj"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-34469"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/cowrie-unrestricted-wget-curl-emulation-enables-ssrf-based-ddos-amplification"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/cowrie/cowrie/issues/2622"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/cowrie/cowrie/pull/2800"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/cowrie/cowrie/releases/tag/v2.9.0"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/cowrie/cowrie","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"ba361a32135d72fdc92c6b95f88cff10ce95ee6c"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.9.0"}],"source":["AFFECTED_FIELD","CPE_RANGE","REFERENCES"],"cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:cowrie:cowrie:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"}}],"versions":["v2.8.1","v2.8.0","v2.7.0","v2.6.1","v2.5.0","v2.4.0","v2.3.0","v2.2.0","v2.1.0","v2.0.2","v2.0.1","v1.9.7","v2.0.0","1.9.7","1.6.0","1.5.3","1.5.2","1.5.1","1.4.1","v1.4.0","v1.3.0","v1.2.0","v1.1.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2025-34469.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"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"}]}
