AI Analysis

Impact

A flaw has been identified in the KodCloud KodExplorer component Remote Download. The vulnerability resides in the request_url_safe function within app/function/web.function.php and allows a remote attacker to manipulate the server to make arbitrary outbound HTTP requests, constituting server‑side request forgery. The flaw is present in all releases up to and including version 4.56 and is classified as CWE‑918.

Affected Systems

Affected systems include KodCloud KodExplorer software up to version 4.56. Organizations using KodExplorer 4.56 or earlier are at risk. No specific patch notes are available from the vendor, which remains unresponsive.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates moderate severity. The vulnerability is exploitable remotely without authentication, and the attacker can target internal or external resources via the vulnerable function. Because the EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, no current evidence points to widespread exploitation, but the absence of control measures could allow significant data exposure if the server can reach sensitive endpoints.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade KodCloud KodExplorer to a version newer than 4.56 that fixes the SSRF issue; if no newer release is available, consider contacting the vendor to confirm a future fix.
  • Disable or restrict the Remote Download functionality, limiting request_url_safe to a whitelist of approved domains or protocols, thereby preventing arbitrary outbound requests.
  • Apply network segmentation and firewall rules to block the application server from accessing internal or sensitive services via outbound HTTP/HTTPS connections, reducing the impact window of SSRF.
  • Enable logging and monitoring for outbound HTTP requests from the application to detect anomalous activity that may indicate SSRF exploitation.
