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 in the Google Cloud Apigee SetIntegrationRequest policy allowed remote attackers to perform Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) and exfiltrate service account access tokens. For successful exploitation, an administrator must initially establish an insecure configuration of the API proxy.

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

The SetIntegrationRequest policy in Google Cloud Apigee contains an SSRF vulnerability that allows remote attackers to make the API proxy perform arbitrary HTTP requests to internal or external resources. When exploited, attackers can target internal metadata endpoints to exfiltrate service account access tokens, potentially gaining broader access to GCP resources.

MitigationAdministrators should review and secure API proxy configurations, restrict outbound network access, disable unnecessary policies, and implement proper input validation on the SetIntegrationRequest policy to prevent requests to unauthorized endpoints.

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. Identify if SetIntegrationRequest policy is in use
    Review your Apigee API proxy configurations (usually in apiproxy/policies/ or through Apigee UI/API listing all policies). Search for <SetIntegrationRequest> policy elements.
    Affected if SetIntegrationRequest policy exists in any API proxy configuration
  2. Inspect policy URL configuration for insecure patterns
    Examine the SetIntegrationRequest policy XML file. Look for elements like <URL>, <ServiceAccountName>, or <ResourceName>. Check if the URL value uses variables or allows dynamic input rather than hardcoded trusted endpoints.
    Affected if The policy allows dynamic URL specification through variables or non-whitelisted endpoints
  3. Check for service account credential exposure
    Review whether the policy is configured with a service account that has elevated privileges or access to sensitive resources. Look for <ServiceAccountName> elements and verify what IAM roles that service account holds.
    Affected if The policy uses a service account with permissions to access sensitive Google Cloud resources
  4. Verify URL allowlist enforcement
    Check if there are any proxy or environment-level policies, flow hooks, or scripts that restrict SetIntegrationRequest URLs to a predefined allowlist of trusted endpoints.
    Affected if No URL allowlist or restriction mechanism exists for the SetIntegrationRequest policy
  5. Audit recent API proxy deployments
    Review deployment history for any API proxies containing SetIntegrationRequest policies. Check who deployed them and whether the configuration follows secure baseline patterns.
    Affected if Recent deployments contain SetIntegrationRequest with configurations that permit arbitrary URLs

You are affected if any SetIntegrationRequest policy in your Apigee environment is configured to allow arbitrary or non-whitelisted URL specifications, particularly when paired with a privileged service account.
