Affected versions

>= 1.4.0, < 1.6.1

Patched versions

Description

Summary

Serveral Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the /proxy route of txtdot allows remote attackers to use the server as a proxy to send HTTP GET requests to arbitrary targets and retrieve information in the internal network.

Details

The URL from user input is not checked before sending server-side request:

fastify.get<IProxySchema>(
'/proxy',
{ schema: ProxySchema },
async (request, reply) => {
const response = await axios.get(request.query.url);
const mime: string | undefined =
response.headers['content-type']?.toString();
const clen: string | undefined =
response.headers['content-length']?.toString();
mime && reply.header('Content-Type', mime);
clen && reply.header('Content-Length', Number(clen));
return reply.send(response.data);

This allows SSRF attacks.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
