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/t2bot/matrix media repo, 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 Matrix Media Repo (MMR) is vulnerable to server-side request forgery, serving content from a private network it can access, under certain conditions. ### Patches This is fixed in [MMR v1.3.8](https://github.com/t2bot/matrix-media-repo/releases/tag/v1.3.8). ### Workarounds Restricting which hosts MMR is allowed to contact via (local) firewall rules or a transparent proxy. ### References https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/Server_Side_Request_Forgery https://learn.snyk.io/lesson/ssrf-server-side-request-forgery/ https://www.agwa.name/blog/post/preventing_server_side_request_forgery_in_golang
