Official description

A vulnerability was found in dgtlmoon changedetection.io up to 50389b07. This vulnerability affects the function add_watch_ui_snapshot of the file changedetectionio/blueprint/add_watch_ui/__init__.py of the component Preview Endpoint. Performing a manipulation of the argument url results in server-side request forgery. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. Upgrading to version 0.60.1 is able to resolve this issue. The patch is named 71d332d5a0d3da2a0fe89a392413bf4b7d27c84e. The affected component should be upgraded. Was fixed upstream.

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.
