7.4 CVE-2024-56800

Enriched by CISA
 

Firecrawl is a web scraper that allows users to extract the content of a webpage for a large language model. Versions prior to 1.1.1 contain a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability. The scraping engine could be exploited by crafting a malicious site that redirects to a local IP address. This allowed exfiltration of local network resources through the API. The cloud service was patched on December 27th, 2024, and the maintainers have checked that no user data was exposed by this vulnerability. Scraping engines used in the open sourced version of Firecrawl were patched on December 29th, 2024, except for the playwright services which the maintainers have determined to be un-patchable. All users of open-source software (OSS) Firecrawl should upgrade to v1.1.1. As a workaround, OSS Firecrawl users should supply the playwright services with a secure proxy. A proxy can be specified through the `PROXY_SERVER` env in the environment variables. Please refer to the documentation for instructions. Ensure that the proxy server one is using is setup to block all traffic going to link-local IP addresses.

CWE-918 : Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
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. Cross Site Port Attack Server-Side Request Forgery Automated static analysis, commonly referred to as Static Application Security Testing (SAST), can find some instances of this weakness by analyzing source code (or binary/compiled code) without having to execute it. Typically, this is done by building a model of data flow and control flow, then searching for potentially-vulnerable patterns that connect "sources" (origins of input) with "sinks" (destinations where the data interacts with external components, a lower layer such as the OS, etc.) SSRF in LLM application development framework because the URL retriever allows connections to local addresses using a crafted Location header Chain: LLM integration framework has prompt injection(CWE-1427) that allows an attacker to force the service to retrievedata from an arbitrary URL, essentially providing SSRF (CWE-918) andpotentially injecting content into downstream tasks. Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in mail server, as exploited in the wild per CISA KEV. Server Side Request Forgery in cloud platform, as exploited in the wild per CISA KEV. Chain: incorrect validation of intended decimal-based IP address format (CWE-1286) enables parsing of octal or hexadecimal formats (CWE-1389), allowing bypass of an SSRF protection mechanism (CWE-918). Web server allows attackers to request a URL from another server, including other ports, which allows proxied scanning. CGI script accepts and retrieves incoming URLs. Web-based mail program allows internal network scanning using a modified POP3 port number. URL-downloading library automatically follows redirects to file:// and scp:// URLs
