Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: High: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable component that could affect component-wide settings and files.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 8 Nov 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2024-47190, organizations should upgrade Northern.tech Hosted Mender to version 2024.07.11 or later where the SSRF vulnerability is addressed. Additionally, implement strict access controls and monitoring for accounts with high privileges to reduce the risk of credential compromise. Network segmentation should be enforced to limit the server's ability to reach sensitive internal resources unnecessarily. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) or network-level filtering to detect and block suspicious outbound requests originating from the Mender server. Conduct regular audits of internal services to ensure they do not expose sensitive data to SSRF attacks. Finally, review and harden input validation and URL handling mechanisms in custom integrations or extensions to prevent SSRF exploitation.

Description

Northern.tech Hosted Mender before 2024.07.11 allows SSRF.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2024-47190 is the potential unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information accessible via internal network resources. An attacker exploiting this SSRF vulnerability could perform reconnaissance on internal services, access metadata endpoints, or retrieve sensitive data from internal APIs or databases that are not exposed externally. However, since the vulnerability requires authenticated access with high privileges, the risk is limited to insiders or compromised accounts with elevated permissions. There is no direct impact on data integrity or system availability. Organizations relying on Northern.tech Hosted Mender for managing embedded devices could face increased risk of internal network exposure or data leakage if this vulnerability is exploited in conjunction with other weaknesses. The absence of known exploits in the wild reduces immediate threat urgency but does not eliminate the need for remediation.
