Description
Server-Side Request Forgery in the PDF export component in maalfer Pentestify before 1.1.0 allows authenticated users to cause outbound HTTP GET requests from the server to arbitrary attacker-chosen destinations via unvalidated URLs stored in the finding images field or the report client_logo field, which the server-side headless browser fetches while rendering the report.

AI Analysis

Impact

This vulnerability permits an authenticated Pentestify user to induce the server to perform arbitrary outbound HTTP GET requests during the PDF export process. By supplying unvalidated URLs in the finding images or client_logo fields, the headless browser used by the report renderer requests those URLs on behalf of the server. The resulting requests could reveal sensitive internal resources, exfiltrate data, or be used for further exploitation, compromising confidentiality and integrity of the instance.

Affected Systems

Pentestify versions prior to 1.1.0 are affected. The vulnerability exists in the PDF export component used by authenticated users. Any deployment of Pentestify before the 1.1.0 release is vulnerable regardless of role or scope of the user.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a medium impact, while the EPSS score of less than 1% denotes a very low likelihood of exploitation at the time of this analysis. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no known active exploits. The attack requires authentication and occurs via the PDF export feature; an attacker must first obtain valid user credentials to trigger manipulated image URLs that the server fetches during report rendering.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Upgrade to version 1.1.0 or higher. The fix was not tagged: the earliest tagged release containing it is v1.1.1.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Pentestify to version 1.1.0 or higher, preferably the tagged release 1.1.1 that includes the fix.
  • As a temporary protection, block outbound HTTP(S) requests from the Pentestify host until the patch is deployed, or use a firewall rule to restrict external connections from the application.
  • If upgrading is not immediately possible, constrain image URLs in PDF export by limiting them to trusted domains or disabling the image fetch functionality in the report renderer configuration.
