Tableau Server: Server-Side Request Forgery

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2025-52453 is a high-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in Tableau Server from Salesforce, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.2 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. The record lists versions 2025.1.3, 2024.2.12, 2023.3.19 as the first without the flaw, so updating Tableau Server to one of those releases or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.34% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

Official description

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Salesforce Tableau Server on Windows, Linux (Flow Data Source modules) allows Resource Location Spoofing. This issue affects Tableau Server: before 2025.1.3, before 2024.2.12, before 2023.3.19.

Source: the CVE record as published by its numbering authority, via NVD and CVE.org.

The underlying weakness: Server-Side Request Forgery

The web server receives a URL or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this URL, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • If there is a known list of applications, IP, hostname, and/or domains to which the product is allowed to communicate, then use allowlists to ensure that outgoing requests are restricted to these known entities. The allowlists could be in the application code or possibly enforced by firewalls or network segmentation.
  • If the product is expected to be able to connect to arbitrary IP addresses or domains, consider using a denylist that includes private network addresses, internal domain names, etc. The denylist could be in the application code or possibly enforced by firewalls or network segmentation.
