Analyst Synthesis

Technical analysis, exploit verification, and patch instructions for CVE-2025-6504 impacting progress hybrid_data_pipeline. Evaluated with CVSS Base Score of 8.4 (HIGH).

Original NVD Description

Source: NIST NVD
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.
