AI-suggested

Upgrade Appsmith to version 2.1 or later, where this SSRF vulnerability is fixed by enhanced host validation. No other official remediation or temporary fixes are documented. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the advisory, but the fix is stated to be in version 2.1.

Description

Appsmith is a platform to build admin panels, internal tools, and dashboards. Prior to 2.1, the outbound HTTP host filter applied by WebClientUtils (used by the REST API and GraphQL datasource plugins) validates hosts against an exact-match string denylist. The comprehensive address-class check (loopback, any-local, link-local, fc00::/7) exists only on a separate code path used by SMTP, not by the HTTP plugin path. As a result, an authenticated user can craft outbound requests that reach loopback-bound services inside the container. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.1.
