CVE-2025-6504

Possibilities of IP Spoofing via X-Forwarded-For (XFF) Header

Description

In HDP Server versions below 4.6.2.2978 on Linux, unauthorized access could occur via IP spoofing using the X-Forwarded-For header.  Since XFF is a client-controlled header, it could be spoofed, allowing unauthorized access if the spoofed IP matched a whitelisted range. This vulnerability could be exploited to bypass IP restrictions, though valid user credentials would still be required for resource access.

Remediation

Solution:

  • Update the HDP Server to version 4.6.2.2978 or later.
