Server-Side Request Forgery via /_image endpoint in Astro Cloudflare adapter
Packages

Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Summary
When using Astro's Cloudflare adapter (`@astrojs/cloudflare`) configured with `output: 'server'` while using the default `imageService: 'compile'`, the generated image optimization endpoint doesn't check the URLs it receives, allowing content from unauthorized third-party domains to be served.
### Details
On-demand rendered sites built with Astro include an `/_image` endpoint, which returns optimized versions of images.
The `/_image` endpoint is restricted to processing local images bundled with the site and also supports remote images from domains the site developer has manually authorized (using the [`image.domains`](https://docs.astro.build/en/reference/configuration-reference/#imagedomains) or [`image.remotePatterns`](https://docs.astro.build/en/reference/configuration-reference/#imageremotepatterns) options).
However, a bug in impacted versions of the `@astrojs/cloudflare` adapter for deployment on Cloudflare’s infrastructure, allows an attacker to bypass the third-party domain restrictions and serve any content from the vulnerable origin.
### PoC
1. Create a new minimal Astro project (`[email protected]`)
2. Configure it to use the Cloudflare adapter (`@astrojs/[email protected]`) and server output:
```js
// astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import cloudflare from '@astrojs/cloudflare';
export default defineConfig({
output: 'server',
adapter: cloudflare(),
});
```
3. Deploy to Cloudflare Pages or Workers
4. Append `/_image?href=https://placehold.co/600x400` to the deployment URL.
7. This will serve the placeholder image from the unauthorised `placehold.co` domain.
### Impact
Allows a non-authorized third-party to create URLs on an impacted site’s origin that serve unauthorized content. This includes the risk of server-side request forgery (SSRF) and by extension cross-site scripting (XSS) if a user follows a link to a maliciously crafted URL.
