CVE-2024-21527: Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF) in github.com/gotenberg/gotenberg/v8/pkg/gotenberg
A Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in github.com/gotenberg/gotenberg v8 packages before version 8.1.0. The issue occurs via the /convert/html endpoint when processing requests referencing localhost files, potentially allowing local file inclusion and reading sensitive files on the host system. A workaround involves using the --chromium-deny-list and/or --chromium-allow-list flags. No official patch or fix is explicitly stated in the provided data.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Versions of github.com/gotenberg/gotenberg v8 packages prior to 8.1.0 are vulnerable to SSRF through the /convert/html endpoint. This vulnerability allows an attacker to craft requests that access local resources, such as files on localhost, resulting in local file inclusion and exposure of sensitive host files. The vulnerability affects the core gotenberg package and its chromium and webhook modules. While a workaround using --chromium-deny-list and --chromium-allow-list flags is suggested, no official fix or patch version is confirmed in the available data.
Potential Impact
An attacker can exploit this SSRF vulnerability to read sensitive files on the host system by making requests to localhost resources via the vulnerable endpoint. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of confidential information stored on the server running the affected software.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is confirmed as available. Users should apply the suggested workaround by configuring the --chromium-deny-list and/or --chromium-allow-list flags to restrict access and mitigate the SSRF risk. Monitor vendor advisories for updates regarding an official fix.
