{"schema":"threatline.record/2","record":{"id":"CVE-2026-57232","aliases":["GHSA-87mg-5grr-rhwh"],"summary":"Contao: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) via Unvalidated RSS Feed URL in Feed Reader Module","details":"### Summary\n\nThe Feed Reader front-end module passes RSS feed URLs from its configuration directly to `$this->feedIo->read($url)` without any scheme validation or private-IP blocklist. A backend user with module-edit permissions can configure an arbitrary URL pointing to internal network services, cloud-provider metadata endpoints, or loopback addresses, causing the server to fetch those resources unconditionally. Confirmed live: the server successfully reaches the internal MySQL database container and its own loopback Apache instance.\n\n---\n\n### Details\n\nIn `core-bundle/src/Controller/FrontendModule/FeedReaderController.php`, the `getResponse()` function iterates over the configured feed URLs and passes each one directly to the HTTP client with no validation:\n\n```php\n// Line 50-55\nforeach (StringUtil::trimsplit('[\\n\\t ]', trim($model->rss_feed)) as $url) {\n    try {\n        $feed = $this->cache->get(\n            'feed_reader_'.$model->id.'_'.md5($url),\n            function (ItemInterface $item) use ($url, $model) {\n                $readerResult = $this->feedIo->read($url, new Feed()); // <-- no validation\n```\n\nThe DCA field definition for `rss_feed` in `tl_module.php` carries no URL scheme or host validation:\n```php\n'eval' => array('mandatory'=>true, 'decodeEntities'=>true, 'style'=>'height:60px')\n```\n\nThe HTTP client is wired as `@psr18.http_client` (Symfony HttpClient) with no SSRF protection configured (`NoPrivateNetworkHttpClient` is not used).\n\n---\n\n### Impact\n\nThis is a CWE-918 (SSRF) vulnerability. A backend user with module-edit access can:\n\n1. **Enumerate internal network services** -- probe any IP/port on the internal network by observing response times and error messages\n2. **Reach internal APIs** -- access unauthenticated services inside the Docker/Kubernetes network (databases, caches, admin panels)\n3. **Steal cloud metadata credentials** -- on AWS, fetch `http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/` to obtain IAM role credentials (IMDSv1 has no authentication)\n4. **Pivot to internal infrastructure** -- use the server as a proxy to interact with services not exposed to the public internet\n\nConfirmed in live testing: the server successfully connected to the internal MySQL container (`172.19.0.3:3306`) and retrieved a full HTTP response from its own loopback interface (`127.0.0.1:80`).\n\n---\n\n### Remediation\n\n1. **Use `NoPrivateNetworkHttpClient`** -- wrap the injected HTTP client with Symfony's built-in SSRF protection before passing it to feedIo:\n   ```php\n   use Symfony\\Component\\HttpClient\\NoPrivateNetworkHttpClient;\n\n   $safeClient = new NoPrivateNetworkHttpClient($this->httpClient);\n   ```\n   This blocks all RFC-1918, loopback, and link-local addresses at the HTTP client level.\n\n2. **Validate URL scheme and host** -- before calling `feedIo->read()`, parse the URL and reject anything that is not `http://` or `https://` with a public routable IP or hostname.\n\n3. **Configure the DCA field** -- add `'rgxp' => 'url'` and a custom validation callback to `tl_module.rss_feed` to reject non-public URLs at save time.","categories":["Libraries & packages"],"product":"contao/contao","vendor":"contao","ecosystem":"composer","affected_ranges":[{"source":"GitHub Advisory
