Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), where 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. In Github.com/zalando/skipper, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact Skipper prior to version v0.13.236 is vulnerable to server-side request forgery (SSRF). An attacker can exploit a vulnerable version of proxy to access the internal metadata server or other unauthenticated URLs by adding an specific header (X-Skipper-Proxy) to the http request. ### Patches The problem was patched in version https://github.com/zalando/skipper/releases/tag/v0.13.237. Users need to upgrade to skipper `>=v0.13.237`. ### Workarounds Use `dropRequestHeader("X-Skipper-Proxy")` filter ### References https://github.com/zalando/skipper/releases/tag/v0.13.237 ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in https://github.com/zalando/skipper/issues/new/choose * Chat with us in slack: https://app.slack.com/client/T029RQSE6/C82Q5JNH5
