CVE-2025-52455
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) vulnerability in Salesforce Tableau Server on Windows, Linux (EPS Server modules) allows Resource Location Spoofing. This issue affects Tableau Server: before 2025.1.3, before 2024.2.12, before 2023.3.19.
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) vulnerability in Tableau Server's EPS Server modules on Windows and Linux allows attackers to make the server perform unintended requests to internal or external resources, enabling resource location spoofing. This network-exploitable flaw with low attack complexity could allow enumeration of internal services or exfiltration of data through the compromised server.

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.
-
Verify Tableau Server is installedCheck for Tableau Server installation by looking for the 'Tableau Server' service in Windows Services or by running 'tsm status' command in Linux/Windows command lineAffected if Tableau Server is not installed on the system
-
Determine installed Tableau Server versionRun 'tsm version' from the Tableau Server bin directory, or check the version from the Tableau Server Configuration utility under 'About Tableau Server'Affected if Version cannot be determined or is in an affected range (< 2023.3.19, >= 2024.2 but < 2024.2.12, >= 2025.1 but < 2025.1.3)
-
Check if EPS Server module is enabledInspect the Tableau Server configuration by running 'tsm configuration get' for settings related to EPS (External Protocol Service) or review the tableaueps.conf file in the config directory if presentAffected if EPS Server module is enabled and configured on the server
-
Compare version against affected rangesParse the version number from step 2 and compare: any version < 2023.3.19, or >= 2024.2 but < 2024.2.12, or >= 2025.1 but < 2025.1.3 is affectedAffected if Installed version falls into any of the three affected ranges
A system is affected if Tableau Server with the EPS Server module enabled is running a version that falls below 2023.3.19, below 2024.2.12 (for 2024.2 branch), or below 2025.1.3 (for 2025.1 branch).

Upgrade Tableau Server to version 2025.1.3, 2024.2.12, or 2023.3.19 or later to remediate this SSRF vulnerability.
Tableau Server 2023.3.19 (or later 2023.x LTS), 2024.2.12 (or later 2024.2.x), or 2025.1.3 (or later 2025.1.x) depending on your release track
- Identify your current Tableau Server version via Tableau Server Manager or 'tsm version' command
- If running version < 2023.3.19: Upgrade to Tableau Server 2023.3.19 or later in the 2023.x LTS line
- If running version >= 2024.2 and < 2024.2.12: Upgrade to Tableau Server 2024.2.12 or later in the 2024.2.x line
- If running version >= 2025.1 and < 2025.1.3: Upgrade to Tableau Server 2025.1.3 or later in the 2025.1.x line
- After upgrade, verify the new version is running via 'tsm version'
- Review Tableau Server post-upgrade documentation for any configuration changes required
