Summary

CVE-2024-29028 is a medium-severity SSRF (CWE-918) vulnerability in Usememos Memos. Its CVSS base score is 5.8 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 39% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-4 (Information Flow Enforcement) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2024-29028 is a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the memos note-taking service, specifically affecting version 0.13.2 at the /o/get/httpmeta endpoint. The flaw permits unauthenticated network requests that can reach internal hosts and return limited HTML metadata in JSON format, corresponding to CWE-918 with a CVSS 3.1 score of 5.8.

An attacker with no credentials can send crafted requests to the endpoint and use the responses to enumerate internal network resources, obtaining partial content from otherwise unreachable systems. Because the attack requires no authentication or user interaction and crosses trust boundaries, it enables reconnaissance that could support further targeted exploitation inside the affected environment.

The referenced GitHub Security Lab advisory and the fixing commit in memos 0.16.1 indicate that the issue was resolved by updating request handling logic to prevent unauthorized outbound fetches from the endpoint.

EPSS scores for the CVE reached a peak of 0.0801 after disclosure before settling at the current value of 0.0606, indicating measurable post-publication interest in exploitation.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Information flow enforcement can restrict which destinations the server is allowed to contact on behalf of users.

Input validation directly stops untrusted URLs from being accepted and fetched without destination checks.

Boundary protection limits the network reach of server-initiated requests even if SSRF occurs.
