Description

CVE-2026-53549 is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Termix, a web-based server management platform. Versions prior to 2.3.2 have an issue in the POST /host/db/proxy/test endpoint where certain request fields are not validated for destination addresses. This allows an authenticated user to make raw TCP and SOCKS connections to arbitrary hosts and ports accessible from the Termix server, including localhost and private network resources. Exploitation can disclose host reachability, timing information, and potentially expose cloud credentials via metadata services. The vulnerability is fixed in version 2.3.2.

Technical Analysis

Termix versions before 2.3.2 contain an SSRF vulnerability (CWE-918) in the POST /host/db/proxy/test endpoint. The endpoint accepts the singleProxy, proxyChain, and testTarget fields without validating the destination addresses. The testProxyConnectivity function uses raw TCP and SOCKS connections to attacker-controlled hosts and ports, enabling an authenticated user to probe internal network resources such as localhost, private networks, and cloud metadata services. This can lead to information disclosure including cloud credentials. The vulnerability is addressed in Termix version 2.3.2.

Potential Impact

An authenticated attacker can leverage this SSRF vulnerability to scan internal network resources and access sensitive infrastructure such as cloud metadata services. Successful exploitation can disclose cloud credentials, which may lead to further compromise. The vulnerability does not impact confidentiality of the Termix server itself but exposes internal network information and potentially sensitive cloud credentials. There is no indication of impact on integrity or availability.

Mitigation Recommendations

Upgrade Termix to version 2.3.2 or later where this SSRF vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory. Since this is not a cloud service, remediation depends on applying the official fix.
