Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
RansomLook contains insufficient resource validation in the analysis PDF generation functionality. Analysis documents are converted from Markdown to HTML and passed to WeasyPrint for PDF rendering. Prior to the fix, WeasyPrint used its default URL fetcher, allowing resource references contained in an analysis to be resolved without restrictions.
An authenticated attacker able to create or modify an analysis could embed crafted resource references using schemes such as file:// or http://. When the analysis was subsequently rendered as PDF, WeasyPrint would process these references with the privileges and network access of the RansomLook server.
A malicious file:// reference could cause the renderer to access arbitrary files readable by the RansomLook process, potentially exposing sensitive configuration, credentials, or other local data through rendered resources. Network URLs could cause the server to initiate requests to localhost, internal network services, or external systems, resulting in server-side request forgery (SSRF) and potentially bypassing network-level access restrictions.
The patch introduces a dedicated WeasyPrint URL fetcher that permits only data: resources, the RansomLook report logo, and files contained within the analysis asset directory. Network resources and filesystem paths outside these explicitly permitted locations are rejected.
AnalysisAI
PDF export in RansomLook allows authenticated analysts to read arbitrary server-side files and conduct server-side request forgery by embedding crafted resource references in analysis documents. Prior to the patch, WeasyPrint's default URL fetcher resolved any scheme - including file:// and http:// - using the privileges and network access of the RansomLook server process, enabling exfiltration of local configuration and credentials or enumeration of internal network services. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated RansomLook session with privileges to create or modify an analysis - the vendor CVSS assigns PR:H, indicating high-privilege access, though the description's framing ('authenticated attacker able to create or modify an analysis') may correspond to an analyst role rather than an administrator in some deployments. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor-assigned CVSS 4.0 score of 8.2 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:N/SA:N) accurately captures the dual-surface impact: VC:H reflects arbitrary file read on the vulnerable RansomLook host, and SC:H reflects SSRF reach into subsequent internal systems. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A compromised analyst account authenticates to RansomLook and edits an existing analysis, embedding a Markdown image tag referencing file:///app/website/config/config.py or http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/ as the image source. When the analyst (or any other user) exports the analysis as a PDF, the pre-patch WeasyPrint instance fetches and embeds the referenced resource into the rendered document; the attacker downloads the PDF and extracts the embedded sensitive data - credentials, configuration secrets, or cloud IAM tokens - without any server-side detection of the exfiltration. |
| Remediation | Apply the fix from commit 34dc0285583dae483b4d48c8e98fff942b755f5f (https://github.com/RansomLook/RansomLook/commit/34dc0285583dae483b4d48c8e98fff942b755f5f), which replaces WeasyPrint's unrestricted default URL fetcher with a strict allowlist-based fetcher. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
