Welcome to the forums! I know it is simplistic, but have you tried tightening the beige nut on the fitting? What does this hose supply? Dishwasher? If tightening it does not solve the problem, turn the supply off between the two hoses and remove the fitting to see if the rubber washer is distorted.

If after trying Chandler's recommendations look closely at the white plastic nut. If they are over tightened they can crack or split. In that case tightening further just widens the crack. What's sneaky is when you remove the hose to examine it the plastic often pushes the crack closed making it hard to spot. If it is cracked replacement if the only option.
