Description
Vulnerability-Lookup contains a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the remote-instance synchronization functionality. Remote instance addresses were validated only for basic URL syntax before being stored, while the synchronization worker later dereferenced these addresses using requests.get() with automatic redirect handling and without enforcing network-boundary restrictions.


An authenticated administrator with the admin:access permission could configure a remote instance whose address points to an internal, loopback, link-local, or cloud metadata HTTP(S) service. When synchronization is performed, the Vulnerability-Lookup server would issue the request from its own network context. An attacker could also use a publicly accessible URL that redirects to an internal destination, because redirects were previously followed without revalidating the destination.


Successful exploitation could allow a privileged attacker to probe or interact with services that are accessible from the Vulnerability-Lookup server but not directly reachable by the attacker, including private network services or cloud instance metadata endpoints. The exact confidentiality, integrity, or availability impact depends on the services reachable from the application server.


The patch introduces a shared outbound URL policy that restricts remote instances to HTTP(S), rejects non-public IP addresses, resolves hostnames at request time, and manually validates each redirect destination before following it. The implementation explicitly blocks private, loopback, link-local, multicast, reserved, and unspecified addresses.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability allows an authenticated administrator with admin:access permission to store a remote instance address that can point to internal, loopback, link‑local, or cloud metadata services. During synchronization the server dereferences the address using requests.get() with automatic redirect handling and no network‑boundary checks, permitting the application to make requests to otherwise unreachable internal endpoints. Successful exploitation enables the attacker to probe or interact with services accessible only from the Vulnerability‑Lookup server, potentially exposing sensitive data or compromising system integrity. The actual confidentiality, integrity, or availability impact depends on which internal services are reachable.

Affected Systems

Vulnerability‑Lookup is the only product referenced. No specific affected versions are listed, so all currently deployed instances that have not applied the patch are potentially vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.1 indicates moderate severity, and the exploitation probability is not quantified by EPSS. The vulnerability is not present in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires administrative credentials with admin:access permission; attackers can also leverage publicly accessible URLs that redirect to internal destinations because redirects were followed without revalidation. The primary attack vector is via the remote‑instance synchronization configuration endpoint.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor patch that implements a shared outbound URL policy to restrict remote instances to HTTP(S) and block non‑public IP addresses.
  • Limit admin:access permissions to trusted personnel and enforce least‑privilege access control.
  • If the remote‑instance synchronization feature is not needed, disable it or block outbound requests to internal networks at the firewall level.
