Common Weakness Enumeration

CWE-918

Allowed

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

Abstraction: Base · Status: Incomplete

The web server receives a URL or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this URL, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination.

4785 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

Details

HTMLy 3.1.1 contains a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the RSS feed import functionality. The function get_feed() in system/admin/admin.php passes user-supplied $feed_url directly to file_get_contents() without any validation. An authenticated attacker with administrative privileges can exploit this by entering a crafted URL (e.g., http://dnslog.example.com, file:///etc/passwd, or http://169.254.169.254 in cloud contexts) via Tools -> Import RSS. The server will then make a request to the attacker-controlled target.

Summary
Plane has SSRF via Incomplete IP Validation in Webhook URL Serializer
Details

Summary

The webhook URL validation in plane/app/serializers/webhook.py only checks ip.is_loopback, allowing attackers with workspace ADMIN role to create webhooks pointing to private/internal network addresses (10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x, 192.168.x.x, 169.254.169.254, etc.). When webhook events fire, the server makes requests to these internal addresses and stores the response — enabling SSRF with full response read-back.

Impact

  • Cloud metadata exfiltration: Access AWS/GCP/Azure instance metadata (IAM credentials, tokens)
  • Internal service scanning: Probe internal network services not exposed to the internet
  • Data exfiltration via response logs: Full response body from internal services is stored and returned to the attacker through the webhook logs API
  • Bypass vectors: 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16, 169.254.0.0/16, 0.0.0.0, ::ffff: mapped addresses

Summary
ruby-openid SSRF via claimed_id request
Details

Ruby OpenID (aka ruby-openid) through 2.8.0 is vulnerable to SSRF. Ruby-openid performs discovery first, and then verification. This allows an attacker to change the URL used for discovery and trick the server into connecting to the URL, which might be a private server not publicly accessible. Severity can range from medium to critical, depending on how a web application developer chose to employ the ruby-openid library. Developers who based their OpenID integration heavily on the "example app" provided by the project are at highest risk.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-06-20 09:30 – Updated: 2024-01-12 09:30
VLAI
Details

IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses did not get recognized as "local" by the code and a connection attempt is made. Attackers with access to user accounts could use this to bypass existing deny-list functionality and trigger requests to restricted network infrastructure to gain insight about topology and running services. We now respect possible IPV4-mapped IPv6 addresses when checking if contained in a deny-list. No publicly available exploits are known.

CAPEC-664: Server Side Request Forgery

An adversary exploits improper input validation by submitting maliciously crafted input to a target application running on a server, with the goal of forcing the server to make a request either to itself, to web services running in the server’s internal network, or to external third parties. If successful, the adversary’s request will be made with the server’s privilege level, bypassing its authentication controls. This ultimately allows the adversary to access sensitive data, execute commands on the server’s network, and make external requests with the stolen identity of the server. Server Side Request Forgery attacks differ from Cross Site Request Forgery attacks in that they target the server itself, whereas CSRF attacks exploit an insecure user authentication mechanism to perform unauthorized actions on the user's behalf.
