Description
Craft CMS versions >= 5.0.0-RC1 before 5.10.6 and >= 4.0.0-RC1 before 4.18.2 contain a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the GraphQL save<Volume>Asset mutation, which fetches an attacker-supplied URL server-side. The anti-SSRF validation is incomplete: validateIp() does not cover CGNAT (100.64.0.0/10) or NAT64 (64:ff9b::/96) ranges, and the only IP check runs after the request has already been issued. An attacker holding a GraphQL token scoped only to asset-creation permissions can disclose internal HTTP content from CGNAT/NAT64 targets, force outbound GET requests to internal hosts (including RFC1918, loopback, and metadata endpoints), and enumerate internal services.

Impact

Craft CMS versions released before 5.10.6 and before 4.18.2 contain a web‑application bug that allows an authenticated attacker with GraphQL asset‑creation permissions to supply an arbitrary URL to the save<Volume>Asset mutation. The application then performs an outbound GET request to that URL before it validates the target address. Because the anti‑SSRF check is performed only after the request is issued and does not cover CGNAT or NAT64 blocks, the attacker can compel the CMS server to retrieve content from private or internal networks, including RFC1918 addresses, loopback interfaces or cloud metadata endpoints, effectively revealing internal resources. The vulnerability falls under CWE‑918 and has a CVSS score of 6.9, representing a potential for internal data disclosure and system enumeration.

Affected Systems

Craft CMS 5.0.0‑RC1 through 5.10.5 inclusive, and Craft CMS 4.0.0‑RC1 through 4.18.1 inclusive. These are the only product lines that include the vulnerable GraphQL mutation. Upgrading to 5.10.6 (or 4.18.2 for the older line) removes the flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score suggests moderate severity; the EPSS is not available, but the absence of a KEV listing indicates no confirmed public exploit at this time. Attackers must possess a GraphQL token with asset‑creation rights, so the attack vector is remote but limited to users with those privileges. Once the token is available, the attacker can trigger requests to any internal endpoint the CMS server can reach, potentially exposing sensitive data or enumerating services. The lack of a pre‑request IP whitelist means the flaw is quite easy to exercise in a controlled environment.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Craft CMS to version 5.10.6 or higher, or to 4.18.2 or higher for the 4.x line, which removes the vulnerable mutation.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, restrict GraphQL tokens to the narrowest set of permissions that do not include asset‑creation rights, limiting the ability to trigger the mutation.
  • Implement network‑level controls (e.g., firewall rules or proxy filtering) that disallow the Craft CMS server from initiating outbound HTTP connections to private IP ranges, loopback addresses, or metadata endpoints, thereby preventing the server from reaching internal resources.
