Description

Description

In Strapi latest version, at function Settings -> Webhooks, the application allows us to input a URL in order to create a Webook connection. However, we can input into this field the local domains such as localhost, 127.0.0.1, 0.0.0.0,.... in order to make the Application fetching into the internal itself, which causes the vulnerability Server - Side Request Forgery (SSRF).

Payloads

  • http://127.0.0.1:80 -> The Port is not open
  • http://127.0.0.1:1337 -> The Port which Strapi is running on

Steps to Reproduce

  • First of all, let's input the URL http://127.0.0.1:80 into the URL field, and click "Save".

CleanShot 2024-06-04 at 22 45 17@2x

  • Next, use the "Trigger" function and use Burp Suite to capture the request / response

CleanShot 2024-06-04 at 22 47 50@2x

  • The server return request to http://127.0.0.1/ failed, reason: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:80, BECAUSE the Port 80 is not open, since we are running Strapi on Port 1337, let's change the URL we input above into http://127.0.0.1:1337

CleanShot 2024-06-04 at 22 50 13@2x

  • Continue to click the "Trigger" function, use Burp to capture the request / response

CleanShot 2024-06-04 at 22 53 25@2x

  • The server returns Method Not Allowed, which means that there actually is a Port 1337 running the machine.

Impact

  • If there is a real server running Strapi with many ports open, by using this SSRF vulnerability, the attacker can brute-force through all 65535 ports to know what ports are open.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @strapi/admin, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update @strapi/admin to 4.25.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-52588 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Restrict outbound requests from the affected component to an allowlist of hosts, block access to link-local and internal address ranges at the network layer, and require authentication on internal services so a forged request cannot reach them unauthenticated.
