DescriptionCVE.org

Kanboard 1.2.52 and prior contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability that allows authenticated users to bypass SSRF protections by supplying hexadecimal IP address notation in user-controlled URLs. Attackers can submit hexadecimal-encoded internal IP addresses through the web link creation feature, causing cURL to resolve and connect to internal network resources such as cloud instance metadata services, localhost services, and RFC1918 addresses while the isPrivateURL() filter in app/Core/Http/Client.php incorrectly treats the input as safe due to FILTER_VALIDATE_IP rejecting non-dotted-decimal notation.

AnalysisAI

Server-side request forgery in Kanboard 1.2.52 and earlier lets authenticated users pivot into internal networks by encoding target IP addresses in hexadecimal notation, which slips past the application's SSRF allow-list check. Because the isPrivateURL() filter in app/Core/Http/Client.php relies on FILTER_VALIDATE_IP - which rejects non-dotted-decimal formats - a hex-encoded address like 0x7f000001 is deemed 'not a private IP' and forwarded to cURL, which happily resolves and connects to it. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Authenticate as low-privilege Kanboard user
Delivery
Submit web link with hex-encoded internal IP
Exploit
isPrivateURL() filter mis-validates hex address
Execution
cURL connects to internal metadata/localhost service
Impact
Exfiltrate cloud credentials or internal data

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must be an authenticated Kanboard user (CVSS PR:L) with access to a feature that fetches a user-controlled URL server-side - specifically the web link creation feature. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:L/VA:N/SC:H/SI:L/SA:N, base 8.4 High) is internally consistent with the description: network-reachable, low complexity, no user interaction, but requiring low-privilege authentication (PR:L) - matching the 'authenticated users' language. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with a low-privilege Kanboard account creates or edits a web link (or any feature that fetches a user-supplied URL) and points it at a hexadecimal-encoded internal address such as http://0xa9fea9fe/latest/meta-data/ to reach the cloud metadata service. Kanboard's isPrivateURL() filter fails to flag the hex address as private, so the server's cURL client fetches the internal resource and can leak instance-metadata credentials or probe localhost/RFC1918 services. …
Remediation Upgrade to a Kanboard release later than 1.2.52 that fixes the hexadecimal-IP bypass; however, no vendor-released patched version was identified at time of analysis, so verify the exact fixed tag against the Kanboard repository (https://github.com/kanboard/kanboard) and the VulnCheck advisory (https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/kanboard-and-prior-ssrf-filter-bypass-via-hexadecimal-ip-notation) before deploying. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all Kanboard instances running version 1.2.52 or earlier and implement network segmentation to restrict outbound connections from Kanboard servers to only required external services, blocking access to internal IP ranges. …
