7.5 HIGH

Unauthenticated network SSRF (PR:N) but only in non-default non-production builds (AC:H); scope changes to reach the metadata service (S:C) leaking credentials (C:H) with minor request-forgery integrity impact (I:L).

DescriptionCVE.org

OpenMAIC before 1.0.1 skips server-side request forgery validation in non-production builds, allowing unauthenticated attackers to reach cloud instance metadata services. Attackers can supply arbitrary provider URLs via the x-base-url header or baseUrl parameter to access sensitive cloud credentials and metadata.

AnalysisAI

Server-side request forgery in OpenMAIC before 1.0.1 lets unauthenticated attackers coerce the server into fetching arbitrary attacker-supplied provider URLs, reaching cloud instance metadata endpoints (e.g. 169.254.169.254) to steal IAM credentials and instance metadata. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the OpenMAIC instance to be running a non-production build (NODE_ENV not set to production), because the SSRF validation guard was gated to production builds only; production deployments are not vulnerable. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor CVSS 4.0 score is 9.0 with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N but critically includes AT:P (attack requirements present) and VC:H/SC:H, reflecting that exploitation is gated on a specific non-production build condition rather than being universally reachable. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: upgrade to OpenMAIC v1.0.1 (https://github.com/THU-MAIC/OpenMAIC/releases/tag/v1.0.1), which runs the outbound URL guard in all environments and adds a repository-scanning test that fails if a gated call site reappears; note v1.0.1 also requires Node 22.19 or newer (up from 20.9) and re-validates every redirect hop while dropping credential headers on cross-origin hops. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, conduct an inventory audit of all OpenMAIC deployments to identify instances not explicitly running NODE_ENV=production, as these systems are immediately vulnerable to credential theft by any network-reachable attacker. …
