Description
A2A Java SDK is the official Java SDK for the Agent2Agent (A2A) Protocol. Prior to 1.3.0.Final, BasePushNotificationSender in server-common sends task data to the URL in TaskPushNotificationConfig without destination validation, scheme restrictions, or bounds on redirects. InMemoryPushNotificationConfigStore.setInfo stores the URL verbatim, and onCreateTaskPushNotificationConfig does not validate the destination. In the default deployment with push notifications enabled, an unauthenticated caller can register a destination through an inline SendMessage configuration or CreateTaskPushNotificationConfig for an existing task, causing task status and artifact updates to send requests from the server's network position to loopback, private, link-local cloud-metadata, IPv6 unique-local, unspecified, or multicast destinations where routing permits. JdkA2AHttpClient and VertxA2AHttpClient follow redirects, allowing a webhook redirect to bypass creation-time destination checks and convert a POST into a GET; hostname-only checks also do not prevent DNS rebinding. Direct POST delivery can push attacker-influenced task data into internal services, whereas a redirected POST-to-GET request drops the body. The sender discards the fetched response and does not expose delivery success or failure, so the demonstrated behavior does not provide response read-back. No credentials or user interaction are required. This issue is fixed in version 1.3.0.Final.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability enables the A2A Java SDK to send HTTP requests to arbitrary URLs specified in push‑notification configurations without validating the destination, scheme, or redirect behavior. An attacker can thus trigger the server to contact internal or private endpoints, including loopback, metadata services, link‑local and multicast addresses, potentially leaking information or enabling further internal access. The flaw does not provide a response for verification, but the ability to cause outbound traffic remains significant from an attacker's perspective.

Affected Systems

A2A Java SDK exposed by a2aproject a2a-java is vulnerable in all releases prior to version 1.3.0.Final. Any deployment with push‑notification delivery enabled that has not applied the 1.3.0.Final release is affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS v3.1 score of 5.8 indicates a medium severity. EPSS data is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The exploit requires an unauthenticated caller to create or modify a push‑notification configuration for an existing task or to send a message via an inline SendMessage payload. Once in place, the attacker can direct the server to reach internal or private network resources without credentials or user interaction, making the attack realistic in environments where such configuration endpoints are reachable from the network.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to A2A Java SDK version 1.3.0.Final or later.
  • Configure push‑notification destinations to allow only trusted URLs and disable automatic redirects to prevent unintended traffic.
  • Restrict outbound network connections from the A2A Java process to only the necessary external endpoints, using firewall rules or network segmentation.
