## CrowdSec analysis

[CVE-2024-29028](https://euvd.enisa.europa.eu/vulnerability/CVE-2024-29028) is a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Memos version 0.13.2, which allows unauthenticated attackers to probe internal networks and retrieve limited HTML data in JSON format. This flaw could be exploited for internal network enumeration and information gathering, potentially aiding further attacks.

CrowdSec has been tracking this vulnerability and its exploits since 24th of September 2025.

According to CrowdSec data, while opportunistic exploitation dominates, a portion of threat actors trying to exploit CVE-2024-29028 apply basic targeting methods such as port or service detection. This indicates emerging patterns of selective targeting.
CrowdSec data also reveals a clear uptick in attacks involving CVE-2024-29028 over the past week. Activity is above the usual baseline, suggesting growing attention from attackers. This may reflect rising awareness, recent exploit releases, or expanded targeting efforts.

Attackers exploit the `/o/get/httpmeta` endpoint by supplying a crafted `url` parameter to trigger server-side request forgery (SSRF), allowing them to make the server initiate requests to arbitrary internal or external resources.
