DescriptionCVE.org

InstantCMS is a free and open source content management system. Versions prior to 2.18.2 have a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the file upload functionality (system/core/uploader.php at lines 509-532). When the "upload from URL" feature follows an HTTP redirect, the redirected target URL bypasses the private IP address blacklist check. This allows authenticated users to scan and access internal network services. Version 2.18.2 contains a fix.

AnalysisAI

Server-Side Request Forgery in InstantCMS versions prior to 2.18.2 allows authenticated users to probe internal network services by exploiting a redirect-bypass flaw in the 'upload from URL' feature. The uploader validates the initial URL against a private IP blacklist, but when the remote server issues an HTTP redirect, the redirected target URL is followed without re-validation, allowing the blacklist to be bypassed entirely. …
