High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

What to do

  1. Check which version of stangirard/quivr you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
  2. Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description

stangirard/quivr version 0.0.236 contains a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability. The application does not provide sufficient controls when crawling a website, allowing an attacker to access applications on the local network. This vulnerability could allow a malicious user to gain access to internal servers, the AWS metadata endpoint, and capture Supabase data.

Source: the CVE record as published by its numbering authority, via NVD and CVE.org.

The underlying weakness: Server-Side Request Forgery

The web server receives a URL or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this URL, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • If there is a known list of applications, IP, hostname, and/or domains to which the product is allowed to communicate, then use allowlists to ensure that outgoing requests are restricted to these known entities. The allowlists could be in the application code or possibly enforced by firewalls or network segmentation.
  • If the product is expected to be able to connect to arbitrary IP addresses or domains, consider using a denylist that includes private network addresses, internal domain names, etc. The denylist could be in the application code or possibly enforced by firewalls or network segmentation.
