Description
Xibo is an open source digital signage platform with a web content management system and Windows display player software. An authenticated Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in versions prior to 4.4.1 allows users with DataSet permissions to make arbitrary HTTP requests from the CMS server to internal or external network resources. This can be exploited to scan internal infrastructure, access local cloud metadata endpoints (e.g., AWS IMDS), interact with internal services that lack authentication, or exfiltrate data. Exploitation of the vulnerability is possible on behalf of an authorized user who has both of the following privileges, which are not granted to non-admins as standard: Include "Add DataSet" button to allow for additional DataSets to be created independently to Layouts. Users should upgrade to version 4.4.1 which fixes this issue. Upgrading to a fixed version is necessary to remediate. Users unable to upgrade should revoke such privileges from users they do not trust.

AI Analysis

Impact

An authenticated Server‑Side Request Forgery (SSRF) exists in the Remote DataSet functionality of Xibo CMS. Users possessing DataSet creation privileges can trigger the server to make arbitrary HTTP requests to any internal or external address. This capability enables coverage of internal network discovery, extraction of cloud metadata such as AWS IMDS, interaction with unauthenticated internal services, and potential exfiltration of sensitive data. The attack requires legitimate user credentials but bypasses the intended access boundaries of the CMS.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Xibo CMS from Xibo Signage, specifically all releases prior to version 4.4.1. The issue is tied to users with the DataSet permission and the ability to use the "Add DataSet" function. No other products or vendor versions are listed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 4.9, indicating low severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a very low likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Exploitation requires an authenticated user with the specific DataSet privilege, and the SSRF can be used to probe internal resources or other exposed services.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Xibo CMS to version 4.4.1 or later which contains the fix for this SSRF issue.
  • If upgrading is not immediately possible, remove the "Add DataSet" privilege from any user who is not explicitly trusted; review and restrict DataSet permissions at the role level.
  • Restrict outbound connections from the CMS server by implementing network segmentation or firewall rules that block access to internal or undesired external endpoints.
  • Monitor CMS logs for unexpected outbound HTTP requests and investigate any anomalous behavior.
