What is CVE-2024-29198?

GeoServer, an open-source server designed for sharing and editing geospatial data, exposes a vulnerability through its Demo request endpoint. If the Proxy Base URL is not correctly configured, attackers may leverage this vulnerability to conduct Service Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attacks. This issue has been addressed in GeoServer versions 2.24.4 and 2.25.2, which eliminate the problematic TestWfsPost servlet, thereby mitigating the risk associated with this vulnerability.
