CVE-2021-25939

Severity Low
Score 2.7/10

Summary

In ArangoDB, versions v3.7.0 through v3.9.0-alpha.1 have a feature which allows downloading a Foxx service from a publicly available URL. This feature does not enforce proper filtering of requests performed internally, which can be abused by a highly-privileged attacker to perform blind SSRF and send internal requests to localhost.

CWE-918 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

Server-side request forgery (SSRF) is a weakness that allows an attacker to send an arbitrary request, making it appear that the request was sent by the server. This request may bypass a firewall that would normally prevent direct access to the URL. The impact of this vulnerability can vary from unauthorized access to files and sensitive information to remote code execution.
