Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session on the Stigmem instance, as confirmed by the CVSS 4.0 PR:L metric. The attacker must have permission to create webhook subscriptions - a core product feature available to authenticated users by default. A matching fact-change event must occur (or be triggered by the attacker) to cause delivery to fire. The SSRF is blind: the attacker does not receive the HTTP response from the internal target, limiting direct data exfiltration unless an out-of-band channel exists. Exploitation is further bounded by the network topology: only internal services reachable from the Stigmem server's network interface are exposed. No non-default configuration is required for the vulnerability to exist; the webhook delivery feature is standard. The primary limiting factors are the authentication requirement (PR:L) and the blind nature of the SSRF.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N, score 5.3) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw requiring authenticated access (PR:L) with partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the vulnerable system and no subsequent-system scope change. The authentication prerequisite is the most meaningful risk-reduction factor relative to raw CVSS: an unauthenticated internet attacker cannot directly exploit this. The blind response behavior further constrains attacker utility for data exfiltration, though POST-based side-effect attacks against unprotected internal services (e.g., Redis without authentication, cloud metadata endpoints) remain viable. No EPSS score was provided, so exploitation probability cannot be numerically benchmarked. No KEV listing and no POC code exist at time of analysis. Deployments where Stigmem is co-located with sensitive, unauthenticated internal APIs or cloud metadata services face the highest realistic risk. The absence of a scope change in the CVSS 4.0 vector suggests the vendor assessed internal service impact as limited or indirect, which is consistent with blind SSRF behavior.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated Stigmem user creates a webhook subscription specifying delivery_address as http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/ (AWS instance metadata) or http://localhost:6379/ (an unauthenticated Redis instance). When any matching fact-change event is generated within Stigmem, the server automatically issues a blind HTTP POST to that internal address. The attacker infers service reachability and possible state changes through secondary effects, such as data written to Redis or metadata service access logs, without receiving the response body directly.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026

Blind Server-Side Request Forgery in Stigmem before 0.9.0a11 allows authenticated users to redirect the application server's HTTP client toward loopback and RFC 1918 private-network destinations by supplying arbitrary values in the webhook subscription delivery_address parameter. When a matching fact-change event fires, Stigmem's backend issues an unsolicited HTTP POST to the attacker-specified internal address, enabling interaction with co-located internal services the attacker could not otherwise reach. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis; exploitation probability is currently unquantified.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Stigmem to version 0.9.0a11 or later, which introduces validation of the delivery_address parameter to reject loopback and private network destinations. The authoritative upgrade guidance is in the vendor advisory at https://github.com/eidetic-labs/stigmem/security/advisories/GHSA-5p3m-vhh6-9236. If immediate patching is not feasible, apply host-based or network-level egress firewall rules on the Stigmem server to block outbound HTTP connections to 127.0.0.0/8, ::1, 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16. Note that this control will also block any legitimate webhook deliveries to internal network targets if such use cases exist, and it does not prevent creation of malicious subscriptions - it only suppresses delivery. Restricting webhook subscription creation to trusted or admin-tier accounts is an additional compensating control with the trade-off of reducing functionality for lower-privilege users.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Stigmem is an open-source fact-change tracking and webhook delivery service produced by Eidetic Labs (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:eidetic-labs:stigmem:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The root cause is CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery): the server constructs an outbound HTTP POST using a URL derived directly from attacker-supplied input without enforcing an allowlist or blocklist against loopback (127.0.0.0/8, ::1) and private network ranges (RFC 1918). Because the SSRF is blind - the internal service's response body is not reflected to the attacker - the attacker can interact with internal endpoints only through side effects or timing observations rather than direct data exfiltration. The vulnerable surface is the webhook subscription creation API, which is a core product feature enabled by default, not a non-standard configuration.

DescriptionCVE.org

Stigmem before 0.9.0a11 fails to validate the delivery_address parameter when creating webhook subscriptions, allowing authenticated users to specify internal loopback and private network destinations. Attackers can trigger matching fact-change events to cause the Stigmem server to issue server-side HTTP POST requests to internal services, enabling blind SSRF attacks against localhost and private network endpoints.
