Description

Summary

A server side request forgery vuln was found within geonode when testing on a bug bounty program. Server side request forgery allows a user to request information on the internal service/services.

Details

The endpoint /proxy/?url= does not properly protect against SSRF. when using the following format you can request internal hosts and display data. /proxy/?url=http://169.254.169.254\@whitelistedIPhere. This will state wether the AWS internal IP is alive. If you get a 404, the host is alive. A non alive host will not display a response. To display metadata, use a hashfrag on the url /proxy/?url=http://169.254.169.254\@#whitelisteddomain.com or try /proxy/?url=http://169.254.169.254\@%23whitelisteddomain.com

Impact

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.
