Official description
Vulnerabilities in the API of EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator could allow a remote attacker authenticated with low privileges to conduct server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks. A successful exploit allows an attacker to enumerate information about the internal structure of the EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator host leading to potential disclosure of sensitive information beyond what is authorized by the user's existing privilege level.

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.
