Description

@asymmetric-effort/specifyjs: No redirect target validation in secureFetch

Finding

Location: core/src/shared/secure-fetch.ts

assertSecureUrl validated only the initial request URL. The fetch() API follows redirects by default (up to 20 hops). A request to a valid https:// URL could redirect to http://internal-service/ or other unvalidated destinations.

Status

Fixed in v0.2.136 — secureFetch now defaults to redirect: 'error' which rejects any redirect. Callers can override with { redirect: 'follow' } if they trust the target.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity low, availability none.

Weakness class

GHSA-j5qp-p44g-2m49 is classified as CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). The server fetches a URL supplied by the caller, which can be pointed at internal systems it alone can reach.
