CVE-2024-47066
Published: 23 September 2024
Summary
CVE-2024-47066 is a critical-severity SSRF (CWE-918) vulnerability in Lobehub Lobe Chat. Its CVSS base score is 9.0 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 9.3% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
This vulnerability is AI-related — categorised as Enterprise AI Assistants; in the Other ATLAS/OWASP Terms risk domain; MITRE ATLAS techniques in scope: Obtain Capabilities (AML.T0016), AI Model Inference API Access (AML.T0040), Exfiltration via AI Inference API (AML.T0024).
Deeper analysis
Lobe Chat is an open-source AI chat framework that contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in versions prior to 1.19.13. The flaw resides in the proxy handler at src/app/api/proxy/route.ts, where SSRF protections fail to account for HTTP redirects, allowing an attacker-supplied external URL to reach internal targets such as private network addresses or loopback interfaces. The issue is tracked as CWE-918 and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.0.
An authenticated user with administrative privileges can supply a malicious URL that redirects to internal resources, bypassing the intended network restrictions and potentially reading or interacting with services that should remain inaccessible from outside the application. Successful exploitation can result in high confidentiality and availability impact along with limited integrity effects and a scope change.
The project’s GitHub security advisories and the commit e960a23b0c69a5762eb27d776d33dac443058faf document the improved redirect handling introduced in version 1.19.13; administrators are advised to upgrade to that release to close the bypass.
The associated EPSS score rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.0813, indicating emerging exploitation interest after public disclosure of the SSRF issue in this AI-oriented application.
