Description
Marqo 2.26.0 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the add_documents endpoint that allows unauthenticated attackers to trigger requests to arbitrary URLs by supplying malicious media field values. Attackers can exploit download_image_from_url and fetch_content_sample functions which lack destination filtering and host validation to access internal services and cloud metadata endpoints.

Impact

Marqo version 2.26.0 contains a server‑side request forgery vulnerability in the add_documents endpoint. By supplying malicious media field values, an unauthenticated attacker can cause the application to perform HTTP requests to arbitrary URLs. The flaw arises because download_image_from_url and fetch_content_sample functions do not perform destination filtering or host validation, enabling attackers to access internal services and cloud metadata endpoints, which could lead to information disclosure or further compromise.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Marqo by marqo‑ai. Only the 2.26.0 release is impacted; no other versions or build‑variants are mentioned.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates a medium severity. No EPSS score is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting limited evidence of exploitation in the wild. Nevertheless, the attack vector is remote and requires no authentication, meaning any external or exposed user interface could be abused. Exploitation would allow attackers to reach internal network resources, potentially exposing sensitive data.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to Marqo 2.26.1 or later when an official patch becomes available
  • If an upgrade is not immediately feasible, restrict the add_documents endpoint to only allow media URLs from approved external hosts by implementing a whitelist check in the request handler
  • Configure network policies or firewall rules to block outbound requests from the Marqo service to internal network addresses and sensitive metadata endpoints
