In the default emulated shell configuration, these command emulations perform real outbound HTTP requests to attacker-supplied destinations. Because no outbound request rate limiting was enforced, unauthenticated remote attackers could repeatedly invoke these commands to generate unbounded HTTP traffic toward arbitrary third-party targets, allowing the Cowrie honeypot to be abused as a denial-of-service amplification node and masking the attacker’s true source address behind the honeypot’s IP.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `cowrie < 2.9.0`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade past the affected range:\n\n- `cowrie 2.9.0`\n\n## Package advisory (CVE-2025-34469)\n\nAffected packages:\n\n- `cowrie < 2.9.0`\n\nPatched in:\n\n- `cowrie 2.9.0`\n\nSource: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-83jg-m2pm-4jxj","depth":"twilight","depthScore":41,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":41.3,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[{"seq":209682,"id":"CVE-2025-34469","ts":1790173564895,"field":"cvss","old":"8.3","new":"7.5"}]}
