Overview
CVE-2025-25235 is a serious Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability that affects Omnissa Secure Email Gateway (SEG) running on Windows and UAG platforms. SSRF vulnerabilities are a common issue, but they are especially concerning when they exist in security infrastructure such as Omnissa’s SEG. The vulnerability’s impact is heightened due to the possibility of routing network traffic such as HTTP requests to internal networks, potentially leading to system compromise or data leaks.

How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability lies in the ability of an attacker to manipulate the server into sending requests on their behalf. The SSRF vulnerability in Omnissa’s SEG allows an attacker to forge requests from the server to internal networks. This could potentially expose sensitive internal resources and data. Depending on the configuration of the internal network, this could even allow an attacker to bypass firewalls and access internal services.
Conceptual Example Code
The following is a conceptual example of how an attacker might exploit this vulnerability:
GET /fetch?url=http://internal.example.com/secrets HTTP/1.1
Host: vulnerable.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "malicious_payload": "..." }In this example, the attacker is instructing the vulnerable server to fetch a resource from an internal network (`http://internal.example.com/secrets`) and return the data.
Recommendations for Mitigation
The most effective mitigation for this vulnerability is to apply the vendor’s patch. Omnissa has released updates that rectify this SSRF vulnerability in SEG. Users running SEG on Windows should upgrade to version 2.32 or later, while users on UAG should upgrade to version 2503 or later.
In cases where patching is not immediately possible, use of a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can provide temporary mitigation. However, these should be seen as interim solutions only. Long-term security can only be assured by patching the vulnerability at its source.
