## What is CVE-2024-37359?

CVE-2024-37359 is a high-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server, published on 19 Feb 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

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. (CWE-918) 

 

Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server versions before 10.2.0.0 and 9.3.0.9, including 8.3.x, do not validate the Host header of incoming HTTP/HTTPS requests.

 

By providing URLs to unexpected hosts or ports, attackers can make it appear that the server is sending the request, possibly bypassing access controls such as firewalls that prevent the attackers from accessing the URLs directly. The server can be used as a proxy to conduct port scanning of hosts in internal networks, use other URLs such as that can access documents on the system (using file://), or use other protocols such as gopher:// or tftp://, which may provide greater control over the contents of requests.

Weakness: CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery)
