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 · uneditedAkamai CloudTest before 60 2025.06.09 (12989) allows SSRF.
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 confidenceAkamai CloudTest versions prior to 60 2025.06.09 (12989) contain a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability that allows attackers to induce the application to make HTTP requests to arbitrary domains. This can enable access to internal services, metadata endpoints, or internal network resources that should not be exposed.

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.
-
Identify CloudTest installationLocate the Akamai CloudTest installation and determine its version number. This is typically found in the product UI under About/Version info, or in installation/manifest files if you have server access.Affected if Version is prior to 60 2025.06.09 (12989)
-
Compare installed version to affected rangeTake the identified version and compare it against the affected range: any version before 60 2025.06.09 (12989) is vulnerable. If your version starts with 60 and was released after June 9, 2025 with build 12989 or higher, it is not affected.Affected if Installed version number is lower than 60 2025.06.09 (12989)
-
Assess network exposureDetermine if the CloudTest interface is accessible from untrusted networks. Check firewall rules, VPN configuration, and whether the management interface is exposed to the internet or only to trusted internal networks.Affected if CloudTest is reachable by attackers who can trigger the SSRF vulnerability
You are affected if your Akamai CloudTest version is earlier than 60 2025.06.09 (12989) and the application is network-accessible to potential attackers.

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 Akamai CloudTest to version 60 2025.06.09 (12989) or later. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict outbound network access from CloudTest servers using firewall rules and network segmentation to limit potential SSRF targets.
60 2025.06.09 (12989) or later
- 1. Identify the current version of Akamai CloudTest installed in your environment
- 2. Obtain the fixed version 60 2025.06.09 (12989) or later from Akamai's official distribution channels
- 3. Plan and schedule the upgrade following Akamai's standard CloudTest update procedures
- 4. Perform the upgrade to version 60 2025.06.09 (12989) or later
- 5. Verify the upgrade was successful by confirming the new version number
- 6. Validate that the SSRF vulnerability has been remediated through appropriate testing
