DescriptionCVE.org

Kestra is an open-source, event-driven orchestration platform. Prior to 2.0.0, Kestra's core/src/main/java/io/kestra/core/runners/pebble/functions/HttpFunction.java passes the user-controlled http() uri argument to URI.create() and the server-side HTTP client without restricting private, loopback, or link-local destinations, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to import and execute a flow that accesses internal services or cloud metadata.

AnalysisAI

Server-side request forgery in Kestra's Pebble http() template function allows unauthenticated remote attackers to force the Kestra server to make outbound HTTP requests to private, loopback, or link-local addresses - including cloud Instance Metadata Service endpoints - by supplying a crafted URI inside an imported workflow flow. All Kestra releases prior to 2.0.0 are affected, with no scope restriction on reachable internal hosts, making cloud-hosted deployments particularly exposed to IAM credential theft via AWS/GCP/Azure IMDS APIs. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Access Kestra API without credentials
Delivery
Craft flow with http() targeting 169.254.169.254 or internal IP
Exploit
Import and trigger flow execution via API
Execution
Kestra fetches internal target without SSRF controls
Impact
Cloud IAM credentials or internal service data returned to attacker

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the attacker can import and execute a flow containing a http() Pebble template call against the target Kestra instance. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.6 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N accurately characterizes the exploitation barrier: no authentication, no special preconditions, single network-reachable API call. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with network access to a Kestra instance crafts a YAML or JSON flow definition that invokes the Pebble http() function with the URI http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/ and imports it via the Kestra flow API without credentials. Kestra's server-side HTTP client fetches the AWS IMDS endpoint, and the response - containing temporary IAM role credentials including access key, secret, and session token - is returned to the attacker through the flow execution output, enabling lateral movement and privilege escalation across the cloud environment. …
Remediation Upgrade Kestra to version 2.0.0 or later, which introduces SSRF protections in the http() Pebble function restricting URI destinations away from private, loopback, and link-local address space. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, upgrade all Kestra deployments to version 2.0.0 or later and restart services to close the SSRF vulnerability. …
