Description
MobSF is a mobile application security testing tool used. Prior to 4.5.1, get_browsable_activities in mobsf/StaticAnalyzer/views/android/manifest_analysis.py validates only an Android manifest android:host value with valid_host before appending a separately supplied android:port to the URL fetched by _check_url, allowing an authenticated user to upload a crafted APK that makes requests to an attacker-selected nonstandard port at /.well-known/assetlinks.json. With an attacker-controlled hostname and DNS rebinding between validation and the requests.get connection, the request can reach an internal service, although redirects remain disabled and the path is fixed. This issue is fixed in version 4.5.1.

Impact

MobSF, before release 4.5.1, failed to fully validate Android manifest host values before concatenating a separately supplied port into the URL used by _check_url. This permits an authenticated user to upload a crafted APK such that the resulting HTTP request targets an attacker‑controlled hostname on any non‑standard port, using the path /.well-known/assetlinks.json. The port restriction that normally limits SSRF to standard ports is circumvented, while redirects remain disabled and the path is fixed. The vulnerability is classified as CWE‑918 and could be leveraged to reach internal services via arbitrary ports, potentially exposing internal resources or initiating unwanted actions.

Affected Systems

MobSF Mobile‑Security‑Framework‑MobSF, versions prior to 4.5.1. Upgrading to 4.5.1 or later removes the flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 3.0 indicates low baseline severity, and the EPSS score is not available, suggesting limited exploitation data. The flaw requires a valid authenticated user with APK upload privileges, attacker‑controlled DNS rebinding, and knowledge of internal service ports to succeed. Given these prerequisites, the likelihood of exploitation in the wild is moderate but not negligible, especially in environments where the MobSF instance is exposed and authenticated users are granted upload rights. Because the vulnerability is not present in the CISA KEV catalog, widespread exploitation is currently unlikely, yet the impact if exploited could provide internal network reconnaissance or further attack surface expansion.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade MobSF to version 4.5.1 or newer, which eliminates the SSRF vulnerability.
  • Restrict APK upload capabilities to trusted users only, ensuring authentication is required and privileges are limited.
  • Implement network segmentation or firewall rules to block outbound connections from the MobSF server to internal services, especially on non‑standard ports.
