CVE-2025-25235
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 · uneditedServer-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in Omnissa Secure Email Gateway (SEG) in SEG prior to 2.32 running on Windows and SEG prior to 2503 running on UAG allows routing of network traffic such as HTTP requests to internal networks.
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 · high confidenceServer-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in Omnissa Secure Email Gateway allows unauthenticated attackers to route HTTP requests through the SEG server to internal networks, potentially accessing internal services and bypassing network segmentation controls.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Omnissa SEG installationLocate the Omnissa Secure Email Gateway installation on the system. Common installation directories include C:\Program Files\VMware\SEG on Windows or check /opt/omnissa/seg on Linux-based appliances. Verify the product binary or service exists.Affected if Omnissa SEG is not installed on the system.
-
Determine installed versionRun the version check command for your SEG installation. On Windows, this is typically done via the SEG management interface or by checking the installed programs list. On UAG appliances, access the admin console or run the version command via SSH. Record the exact version number.Affected if The installed version is lower than 2.32 (Windows) or lower than 2503 (UAG).
-
Verify network exposureCheck the SEG network configuration to determine if the web interface or email processing services are exposed to untrusted networks. Review firewall rules, NAT configurations, and access control lists applied to the SEG server.Affected if The SEG management interface or processing ports are accessible from untrusted/external networks without proper filtering.
-
Inspect for suspicious internal connectionsReview SEG logs, proxy logs, and network traffic logs for outbound connections to internal IP addresses (RFC 1918 private ranges such as 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16) that were not initiated by legitimate email processing workflows. Focus on HTTP/HTTPS requests to internal systems.Affected if Logs show unexpected outbound HTTP requests from the SEG server to internal network resources that were not part of normal email gateway operations.
A system is affected if Omnissa SEG is installed with a version lower than 2.32 (Windows) or lower than 2503 (UAG) and the interface is exposed to untrusted networks, or if exploitation signs are present in logs.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade Omnissa SEG to version 2.32 or later (Windows) or version 2503 or later (UAG). Additionally, apply network segmentation and restrict outbound connectivity from the SEG server to only necessary destinations.
SEG 2.32 for Windows or SEG 2503 for UAG
- Identify the current version of Omnissa Secure Email Gateway (SEG) running on your system
- If running on Windows: upgrade to version 2.32 or later
- If running on UAG (Unified Access Gateway): upgrade to version 2503 or later
- After upgrade, verify the new version is running and the SSRF vulnerability is remediated
- Review SEG configuration to ensure no unintended network routing is enabled
