Title
Craft CMS vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) via GraphQL Asset Upload Mutation
Summary
Craft is a platform for creating digital experiences. In versions 5.0.0-RC1 through 5.8.20 and 4.0.0-RC1 through 4.16.16, the Craft CMS GraphQL `save_<VolumeName>_Asset` mutation is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). This vulnerability arises because the `_file` input, specifically its `url` parameter, allows the server to fetch content from arbitrary remote locations without proper validation. Attackers can exploit this by providing internal IP addresses or cloud metadata endpoints as the `url`, forcing the server to make requests to these restricted services. The fetched content is then saved as an asset, which can subsequently be accessed and exfiltrated, leading to potential data exposure and infrastructure compromise. This exploitation requires specific GraphQL permissions for asset management within the targeted volume. Users should update to the patched 5.8.21 and 4.16.17 releases to mitigate the issue.

Esta vulnerabilidad surge porque la entrada \u0027_file\u0027, espec\u00edficamente su par\u00e1metro \u0027url\u0027, permite al servidor obtener contenido de ubicaciones remotas arbitrarias sin la validaci\u00f3n adecuada. Los atacantes pueden explotar esto proporcionando direcciones IP internas o puntos finales de metadatos en la nube como la \u0027url\u0027, forzando al servidor a realizar peticiones a estos servicios restringidos. El contenido obtenido se guarda luego como un activo, que posteriormente puede ser accedido y exfiltrado, lo que lleva a una posible exposici\u00f3n de datos y compromiso de la infraestructura. Esta explotaci\u00f3n requiere permisos espec\u00edficos de GraphQL para la gesti\u00f3n de activos dentro del volumen objetivo.

In versions 5.0.0-RC1 through 5.8.20 and 4.0.0-RC1 through 4.16.16, the Craft CMS GraphQL `save_\u003cVolumeName\u003e_Asset` mutation is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). This vulnerability arises because the `_file` input, specifically its `url` parameter, allows the server to fetch content from arbitrary remote locations without proper validation. Attackers can exploit this by providing internal IP addresses or cloud metadata endpoints as the `url`, forcing the server to make requests to these restricted services. The fetched content is then saved as an asset, which can subsequently be accessed and exfiltrated, leading to potential data exposure and infrastructure compromise. This exploitation requires specific GraphQL permissions for asset management within the targeted volume. Users should update to the patched 5.8.21 and 4.16.17 releases to mitigate the issue."
