Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A vulnerability was found in WISI Tangram GT31 up to 20241214 and classified as problematic. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the component HTTP Request Handler. The manipulation leads to server-side request forgery. The attack may be launched remotely. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in the HTTP Request Handler component of WISI Tangram GT31 devices. An attacker can manipulate HTTP requests to cause the server to make unintended requests to internal network resources or external systems, potentially bypassing network boundaries.

MitigationSince no vendor patch is available, implement network segmentation and firewall rules to restrict outbound HTTP requests from the device. If possible, disable or restrict the HTTP Request Handler functionality through device configuration.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm device model is WISI Tangram GT31
    Access the device administrative interface or check the device firmware/system information to verify the exact model number matches 'Tangram GT31'
    Affected if The device is not a WISI Tangram GT31 model, then this specific CVE does not apply
  2. Locate HTTP Request Handler configuration
    Navigate to the device web interface or configuration files and search for settings related to 'HTTP Request Handler', 'HTTP Client', or 'Outbound HTTP' functionality
    Affected if No HTTP Request Handler feature exists in the configuration, then the device may not be vulnerable to this specific attack vector
  3. Verify HTTP Request Handler is enabled
    Check the device configuration for the HTTP Request Handler feature and confirm it is set to 'enabled' or 'active' rather than disabled
    Affected if The HTTP Request Handler is explicitly disabled in the device configuration, the SSRF attack surface may not be present
  4. Review outbound HTTP request configurations
    Examine the HTTP Request Handler settings for any configured target URLs, IP addresses, or hostnames that the device is authorized to request
    Affected if The handler allows arbitrary or user-controllable URL parameters that could be manipulated to trigger SSRF
  5. Inspect network traffic logs for unexpected HTTP requests
    Review device logs, firewall logs, or network monitoring data for HTTP requests originating from the device to internal IP ranges (such as 10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x, 127.x.x.x) or unexpected external destinations
    Affected if The device has made or attempted HTTP requests to internal network resources or unauthorized external hosts that were not explicitly configured

A user is affected if they operate a WISI Tangram GT31 device with the HTTP Request Handler feature enabled and accessible, allowing an attacker to manipulate HTTP requests for unauthorized network access.

Mitigation

Since no vendor patch is available, implement network segmentation and firewall rules to restrict outbound HTTP requests from the device. If possible, disable or restrict the HTTP Request Handler functionality through device configuration.
