## What is CVE-2025-25069?

CVE-2025-25069 is a medium-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in Apache Kvrocks, published on 7 Feb 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

A Cross-Protocol Scripting vulnerability is found in Apache Kvrocks.

Since Kvrocks didn't detect if "Host:" or "POST" appears in RESP requests,
a valid HTTP request can also be sent to Kvrocks as a valid RESP request 
and trigger some database operations, which can be dangerous when 
it is chained with SSRF.

It is similiar to CVE-2016-10517 in Redis.

This issue affects Apache Kvrocks: from the initial version to the latest version 2.11.0.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.11.1, which fixes the issue.

Check this codebase for CVE-2025-25069 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2025-25069 is a medium-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in Apache Kvrocks, published on 7 Feb 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-25069 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Apache Kvrocks. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
