Summary

CVE-2024-12450 is a critical-severity SSRF (CWE-918) vulnerability in Infiniflow Ragflow. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 34% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-4 (Information Flow Enforcement) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2024-12450 affects infiniflow/ragflow version 0.12.0, specifically the `web_crawl` function in `document_app.py`. This function fails to filter URL parameters, enabling Full Read Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) that allows access to internal network addresses, with their content viewable through generated PDF files. It also lacks restrictions on the file protocol, permitting Arbitrary File Read to access server files. Additionally, the use of an outdated Chromium headless browser in --no-sandbox mode exposes the application to Remote Code Execution (RCE) via known Chromium V8 vulnerabilities. The vulnerability is rated critical with a CVSS score of 9.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and is associated with CWE-918 (SSRF).

Remote, unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability with low complexity and no user interaction required. By supplying malicious URLs to the `web_crawl` function, they can trigger SSRF to probe and read internal network resources, read arbitrary files on the server, or achieve RCE by leveraging Chromium V8 flaws in the sandboxless environment.

The issues are resolved in ragflow version 0.14.0, as detailed in the project's GitHub commit (3faae0b2c2f8a26233ee1442ba04874b3406f6e9). Additional details are available via the Huntr advisory (da06360c-87c3-4ba9-be67-29f6eff9d44a), which reported the vulnerabilities.

Vulnerability Data

In infiniflow/ragflow versions 0.12.0, the `web_crawl` function in `document_app.py` contains multiple vulnerabilities. The function does not filter URL parameters, allowing attackers to exploit Full Read SSRF by accessing internal network addresses and viewing their content through the generated PDF files.…

more

Additionally, the lack of restrictions on the file protocol enables Arbitrary File Read, allowing attackers to read server files. Furthermore, the use of an outdated Chromium headless version with --no-sandbox mode enabled makes the application susceptible to Remote Code Execution (RCE) via known Chromium v8 vulnerabilities. These issues are resolved in version 0.14.0.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Information flow enforcement can restrict which destinations the server is allowed to contact on behalf of users.

Input validation directly stops untrusted URLs from being accepted and fetched without destination checks.

Boundary protection limits the network reach of server-initiated requests even if SSRF occurs.
