Description
A vulnerability was identified in PowerJob up to 5.1.2. Impacted is the function MuConnectionManager.getOrCreateConnection of the file powerjob-server/powerjob-server-starter/src/main/java/tech/powerjob/server/web/controller/TestController.java of the component Transport Endpoint. The manipulation leads to server-side request forgery. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability in PowerJob’s Transport Endpoint allows an attacker to supply arbitrary URLs to the MuConnectionManager.getOrCreateConnection method. A crafted request is subsequently made by the server on the attacker's behalf, enabling the attacker to reach internal network resources and potentially sensitive systems. The flaw can be activated remotely and may lead to leakage of data or use of internal services for further attacks. This type of weakness permits the execution of arbitrary web requests without the user's consent.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects the PowerJob product, specifically its server component up to and including version 5.1.2. Users running any of these versions of PowerJob, particularly configurations that expose the TestController endpoint, are susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates moderate severity, and the vulnerability’s exploitability is high because a public exploit is available and it can be triggered via a simple HTTP request sent to the vulnerable endpoint. Exact EPSS data is not available, but the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Attackers can remotely target any instance of the vulnerable PowerJob server that is reachable on the network, and the SSRF nature of the flaw makes it an attractive vector for pivoting into internal infrastructure.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade PowerJob to a version newer than 5.1.2 once a patch is released by the vendor.
  • If upgrading is not immediately possible, remove or restrict access to the TestController endpoint, ensuring only authorized users can reach it.
  • Configure outbound request restrictions (such as a firewall or proxy that whitelists allowed hosts) to limit the server’s ability to reach arbitrary URLs, thereby mitigating SSRF exploitation.
