CVE-2021-25939 is a low-severity vulnerability rated 2.7/10 on the CVSS scale. In ArangoDB, versions v3.7.0 through v3.9.0-alpha.1 have a feature which allows downloading a Foxx service from a publicly available URL. This feature does not enforce proper filtering of requests performed internally, which can be abused by a highly-privileged attacker to perform blind SSRF and send internal requests to localhost.. EPSS estimates a 1.11% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
