CVE-2025-6142
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 · uneditedA vulnerability was found in Intera InHire up to 20250530. It has been declared as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality. The manipulation of the argument 29chcotoo9 leads to server-side request forgery. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. 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 confidenceServer-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Intera InHire allows remote attackers to manipulate the '29chcotoo9' parameter to make the server perform unauthorized requests to internal or external resources. The vulnerability exists in an unspecified functionality and requires no authentication. A public exploit is available.

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 Intera InHire installationSearch for Intera InHire application files in the web root directory or check running services for 'inhire' or 'Intera' processesAffected if Intera InHire software is found running in the environment
-
Identify installed versionCheck version files, about pages, or API endpoints that reveal the Intera InHire version number; compare against any available release notesAffected if Installed version cannot be determined or falls within an unknown vulnerable range (no CVE-specific version data available)
-
Verify network exposureDetermine if the Intera InHire web interface is accessible from untrusted networks without authenticationAffected if The application is exposed externally or to untrusted networks without requiring authentication
-
Locate vulnerable parameter accessReview application traffic logs or use a web proxy to inspect requests to endpoints that accept the '29chcotoo9' parameter; test suspected endpoints with benign SSRF payloads (such as requesting a controlled external endpoint)Affected if The application accepts and processes the '29chcotoo9' parameter without validation or restriction
-
Check for exploitation indicatorsReview HTTP access logs for suspicious requests to internal IP addresses (127.0.0.1, 10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x) or unusual external domains originating from the application serverAffected if Logs show requests to internal resources or unexpected external domains that were not initiated by legitimate users or scheduled tasks
The environment is affected if Intera InHire is deployed, the application is network-accessible without authentication, and the '29chcotoo9' parameter is present and processable by the application.

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.
From vendor dataImplement strict allowlist-based input validation for the vulnerable parameter and restrict server-side request capabilities to trusted endpoints only. Consider network segmentation to limit SSRF impact on internal services.
