Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

prevent

Directly addresses the SSRF vulnerability by requiring validation of URL inputs in the Markdown_Translate.get_files_from_everything() API to block arbitrary web host access.

SC-7 Boundary Protection good match

prevent

Mitigates SSRF by monitoring and controlling outbound communications from the Gradio Web server to prevent access to unauthorized resources.

AC-4 Information Flow Enforcement good match

prevent

Enforces flow control policies to restrict the server from making requests to arbitrary hosts beyond approved destinations.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access

Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2024-11031 is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability, classified as CWE-918, affecting version 3.83 of binary-husky/gpt_academic. The flaw exists in the Markdown_Translate.get_files_from_everything() API and is exploited through the HotReload(Markdown翻译中) plugin function, which performs insufficient validation by only checking if provided links start with 'http'. This allows the plugin to download content from arbitrary web hosts via the affected GPT Academic Gradio Web server.

Attackers require only network access with no authentication or user interaction, as indicated by the CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N). Exploitation occurs when victims use the plugin with a malicious link, enabling attackers to leverage the Gradio Web server's credentials to access unauthorized web resources and potentially exfiltrate sensitive data.
