Summary

Matrix Media Repo (MMR) is a configurable multi-homeserver media repository for Matrix. MMR is vulnerable to Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF) under certain conditions, potentially allowing an attacker to retrieve content from a private network accessible by the server. This vulnerability affects MMR versions prior to v1.3.8. Users are advised to upgrade to the latest version. For users unable to upgrade, a possible workaround is to restrict the hosts MMR can contact by implementing local firewall rules or using a transparent proxy to limit outbound requests.

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.
