An unauthenticated attacker can send a crafted request to the vulnerable server. This request tricks the server into making a network connection back to itself or to other systems, allowing the attacker to retrieve sensitive information, potentially leading to system compromise or data leakage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"ameeb-2526556631\" class=\"ameeb-content ameeb-entity-placement\"><div class=\"poptin-embedded\" data-id=\"f6b387694f681\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\n<p>The following is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. In this case, the malicious payload tricks the server into making a request back to itself or other servers.<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">POST \/vulnerable\/endpoint HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/json\n{\n&quot;url&quot;: &quot;http:\/\/localhost\/admin&quot;\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>In this example, the malicious payload is a JSON object containing a URL that the server will request. The URL points to a local or remote server from which the attacker wants to retrieve information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview The vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-49852, affects ControlID iDSecure On-premises versions 4.7.48.0 and prior.
