Description
Impact
The POST /api/v2/firefighter/raid/jira_bot endpoint (CreateJiraBotView) is
reachable without authentication (permission_classes = [permissions.AllowAny]).
Its attachments payload is fetched server-side via httpx.get() with no URL
validation, then uploaded as an attachment on the Jira ticket that gets created.
An unauthenticated caller able to reach the ingress can coerce the pod into
fetching arbitrary URLs — including the cloud metadata endpoint at
http://169.254.169.254/ — and exfiltrate the response as a Jira attachment.
On EC2/EKS deployments that do not enforce IMDSv2, this allows theft of the temporary AWS credentials attached to the pod's IAM role. The docstring on the view claims a Bearer token is required, but the code does not enforce it.
Affected code paths:
src/firefighter/raid/views/__init__.py—CreateJiraBotViewsrc/firefighter/raid/serializers.py—LandbotIssueRequestSerializer.attachmentssrc/firefighter/raid/client.py—RaidJiraClient.add_attachments_to_issue
Patches
Fixed in firefighter-incident 0.0.54:
CreateJiraBotViewnow enforcesBearerTokenAuthentication+IsAuthenticated.attachmentsURLs are validated: http(s) scheme only, max 10 URLs, rejection of any host resolving to a private, loopback, link-local, reserved, multicast or unspecified IP (IPv4 and IPv6).- Fixes an unrelated
KeyError('attachments')surfaced during regression testing.
Users should upgrade to 0.0.54 or later.
Workarounds
Until upgrade is possible, any one of the following blocks end-to-end exploitation:
- Restrict ingress access to
/api/v2/firefighter/raid/jira_botto trusted networks only (VPN, internal load balancer). - Rotate or revoke the Jira API token configured as
RAID_JIRA_API_PASSWORD; this breaksjira.create_issue()before the vulnerable attachment fetch is reached (legitimate traffic is also blocked — emergency mitigation only). - Enforce IMDSv2 with
HttpPutResponseHopLimit=1on EC2/EKS nodes. This does not fix the SSRF itself but neutralises the IAM-credential-theft path.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for firefighter-incident, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update firefighter-incident to 0.0.54 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-fqvv-jvhr-g5jc is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
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.
