Description

Summary

An authenticated user with ROMS_WRITE or COLLECTIONS_WRITE scope (Editor or Admin role) can exploit Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) and Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerabilities through the url_cover and url_manual form fields when updating ROMs (PUT /api/roms/{id}) or creating/updating Collections (POST /api/collections, PUT /api/collections/{id}).

The fetched content is written to the web-served resources directory and can be read back by the attacker via the ROM's cover or manual asset path, making this a non-blind SSRF/LFI.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.

Weaknesses

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. Learn more on MITRE.

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

The web server receives a URL or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this URL, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination. Learn more on MITRE.
