## What is CVE-2024-51980?

CVE-2024-51980 is a medium-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in Brother Industries, Ltd ADS-2400N, published on 25 Jun 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

An unauthenticated attacker may perform a limited server side request forgery (SSRF), forcing the target device to open a TCP connection to an arbitrary port number on an arbitrary IP address. This SSRF leverages the WS-Addressing ReplyTo element in a Web service (HTTP TCP port 80) SOAP request. The attacker can not control the data sent in the SSRF connection, nor can the attacker receive any data back. This SSRF is suitable for TCP port scanning of an internal network when the Web service (HTTP TCP port 80) is exposed across a network segment.

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