Vulnerability Data

PostHog database_schema Server-Side Request Forgery Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of PostHog. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the database_schema method.…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-4 Information Flow Enforcement good match

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

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

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

SC-7 Boundary Protection partial match

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

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
blocks

Secure development practices directly include input validation and destination allow-listing that prevent SSRF.

DE.CM-09 partial match
blocks

Runtime monitoring of web applications and services can detect anomalous outbound requests indicative of SSRF.

ID.RA-01 partial match
blocks

Vulnerability identification processes can discover and record SSRF flaws in web applications.

PR.IR-01 partial match
blocks

Network segmentation and egress controls can limit the damage from successful SSRF requests.
