Overview
CVE-2025-3572 is a significant server-side request forgery vulnerability discovered in INTUMIT’s SmartRobot. It poses a direct threat to the security of network systems using this product, allowing remote unauthenticated attackers the potential to probe internal networks and access local files on the server. This vulnerability is of particular concern due to its potential for data leakage or even full system compromise.

How the Exploit Works
The exploit takes advantage of a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in SmartRobot. The attacker sends a maliciously crafted request to the server running SmartRobot. This server, failing to properly validate or sanitize the request, ends up executing it. This execution can lead to unauthorized actions such as probing the internal network or accessing local files on the server.
Conceptual Example Code
This is a conceptual example of how an attacker might exploit the vulnerability:
GET /api/request?target=http://localhost:8080/admin HTTP/1.1
Host: vulnerable.smartrobot.comIn the above example, the attacker is able to access the local ‘admin’ directory of the server by crafting a GET request to the SmartRobot server. The server ends up executing the request, giving the attacker unauthorized access.
