AI-suggested
If you cannot patch yet, restrict authenticated user access to trusted parties only and monitor for suspicious activity related to the add_url endpoint. Avoid exposing sensitive internal services that could be accessed via SSRF.
Description
NewsBlur before version 14.5.0 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the add_url endpoint that allows authenticated users to make arbitrary server requests to internal networks by failing to filter private IP addresses. Attackers can exploit this to access localhost services and cloud metadata endpoints, enabling internal network scanning and sensitive data exfiltration.
