CVE-2022-24856
Published: 17 May 2022
Summary
CVE-2022-24856 is a critical-severity SSRF (CWE-918) vulnerability in Flyte Flyte Console. Its CVSS base score is 9.1 (Critical).
Operationally, ranked in the top 0.8% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
FlyteConsole, the web user interface for the Flyte orchestration platform, is affected by a server-side request forgery vulnerability (CWE-918) in all versions prior to 0.52.0. The flaw exists in the cors_proxy component and is exploitable when the console is reachable from the public internet, allowing an attacker to cause the server to issue requests to arbitrary internal or unauthenticated endpoints while potentially forwarding request headers.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can abuse the proxy by tricking any user of a vulnerable FlyteConsole instance into triggering requests that reach internal metadata services or other restricted URLs. Successful exploitation can result in disclosure of sensitive instance metadata or other data accessible to the console host, corresponding to the observed CVSS 9.1 rating that reflects network attack vector, low complexity, and high impact on confidentiality and integrity.
Advisories and patches published by the Flyte project state that the issue is resolved in FlyteConsole 0.52.0 by completely removing the cors_proxy functionality. The same sources list disabling public internet exposure of FlyteConsole as an immediate workaround, and the fix is documented in the associated GitHub security advisory and release notes.
The EPSS score for this CVE has remained consistently high, with a current value of 0.8188 and a recorded peak of 0.8502.

Vulnerability details
FlyteConsole is the web user interface for the Flyte platform. FlyteConsole prior to version 0.52.0 is vulnerable to server-side request forgery (SSRF) when FlyteConsole is open to the general internet. An attacker can exploit any user of a vulnerable instance…

to access the internal metadata server or other unauthenticated URLs. Passing of headers to an unauthorized actor may occur. The patch for this issue deletes the entire `cors_proxy`, as this is not required for console anymore. A patch is available in FlyteConsole version 0.52.0. Disable FlyteConsole availability on the internet as a workaround.
