Possibilities of IP Spoofing via X-Forwarded-For (XFF) Header

Published Jul 29, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 8.4 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In HDP Server versions below 4.6.2.2978 on Linux, unauthorized access could occur via IP spoofing using the X-Forwarded-For header. 

Since XFF is a client-controlled header, it could be spoofed, allowing unauthorized access if the spoofed IP matched a whitelisted range.


This vulnerability could be exploited to bypass IP restrictions, though valid user credentials would still be required for resource access.
