MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Credential Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid Hi.Events platform account with permission to register webhooks - the CVSS PR:L metric confirms a low-privilege authenticated session is sufficient; unauthenticated access is not possible. The attacker must additionally control a domain that can be configured to serve an HTTP redirect to an internal or reserved IP address (covering the redirect-based path), or a domain whose DNS record can be changed after webhook registration before the next dispatch (covering the DNS rebinding path). The Hi.Events server must have outbound HTTP access to the targeted internal resource; cloud-hosted instances with accessible IMDS endpoints represent the highest-risk deployment. No non-default platform configuration is required - webhook functionality is a standard feature. Exploitation is bounded by: the authentication requirement limiting anonymous mass exploitation, and the need for attacker control over a DNS record or a redirect-serving endpoint. |
| Impact | 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 correctly captures the threat profile: the attack is network-reachable, requires no special conditions beyond a low-privilege account, and produces high confidentiality impact on both the vulnerable system and subsequent systems such as cloud metadata services. The subsequent-system confidentiality impact (SC:H) reflects the ability to reach AWS IMDS (169.254.169.254), GCP metadata (metadata.google.internal), or internal APIs and return their responses verbatim to the attacker - an impact level consistent with IAM credential theft in cloud-hosted deployments. EPSS data was not supplied, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified against the broader threat landscape. The CVE is not in CISA KEV and no public exploit code has been identified, but the attack technique (redirect-based SSRF and DNS rebinding) is thoroughly documented in public SSRF literature and the entire codebase is open source, meaning the vulnerable path is trivially auditable. The PR:L authentication requirement is the primary limiting factor: an attacker must hold a valid platform account with webhook-registration permission. For any deployment running on a cloud provider with an accessible IMDS endpoint - the common case for SaaS-style Hi.Events installs - this should be treated as a high-priority patch. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated Hi.Events organizer registers a webhook pointing to a domain they control (e.g., attacker.example.com), which resolves to a legitimate public IP at registration time, passing the NoInternalUrlRule check. Before the next event trigger fires the webhook, the attacker reconfigures attacker.example.com to respond with an HTTP 301 redirect to http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/role-name. When the webhook dispatches, the server follows the redirect, retrieves the cloud IAM credentials from the metadata service, and stores the response body in the webhook log; the attacker then reads the credentials directly from the webhook logs API endpoint. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the attack technique requires no specialized tooling. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 24, 2026
Server-side request forgery in Hi.Events (all versions prior to 1.11.1-beta) allows an authenticated platform user to exfiltrate responses from internal network services, including cloud metadata endpoints, by exploiting a time-of-check/time-of-use gap in webhook URL validation. The registration-time guard in NoInternalUrlRule is never repeated at dispatch, and Guzzle's default redirect-following allows a destination that answers with a redirect to a loopback or RFC-1918 address to cause the server to issue the secondary request. Critically, this is not blind SSRF: WebhookResponseHandlerService stores the response body and WebhookLogResource exposes it via the webhook logs API, enabling direct credential or secret exfiltration. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to Hi.Events 1.11.1-beta, which resolves the vulnerability by revalidating the webhook URL at every dispatch invocation, pinning the IP address resolved at registration time, inspecting every redirect hop against the private-range blocklist, and normalizing IPv6 transition addresses before comparison. The patch commit cfbf468bb5b1 (https://github.com/HiEventsDev/Hi.Events/commit/cfbf468bb5b1) and the full diff in PR #1311 (https://github.com/HiEventsDev/Hi.Events/pull/1311) are publicly available for review. If immediate upgrade is not possible, disable webhook functionality for untrusted or low-privilege users at the application-access-control layer. As a network-level compensating control, configure egress firewall rules on the Hi.Events server to block outbound HTTP/HTTPS to RFC 1918 ranges (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16), loopback (127.0.0.0/8), and cloud metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254 and its IPv6 equivalents); note that this control must be enforced at the network layer because the application-layer check is the component that was bypassed. Disabling Guzzle redirect-following in backend/config/webhook-server.php eliminates the redirect-based attack path but does not address DNS rebinding, so it is insufficient as a standalone mitigation.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Hi.Events is an open-source PHP/Laravel event-ticketing platform identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:hieventsdev:hi.events:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. The root cause is CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery), specifically a TOCTOU design flaw: NoInternalUrlRule resolves the webhook hostname with PHP's gethostbyname() and rejects private/reserved ranges only at registration time. At dispatch, WebhookDispatchService passes the stored URL directly to spatie/laravel-webhook-server, which uses Guzzle internally. Because backend/config/webhook-server.php sets no allow_redirects override, Guzzle follows HTTP 3xx redirects by default, providing the redirect-based attack path. A separate DNS rebinding path exists because no IP pinning was performed at registration - if the hostname's DNS record changes between registration and dispatch, the new address is used without scrutiny. Both event-level and organizer-level webhooks share the same validation rule and dispatch service. The fix in 1.11.1-beta (commit cfbf468bb5b1, PR #1311) revalidates at dispatch, pins the resolved IP, checks every redirect hop, and decodes IPv6 transition addresses such as IPv4-mapped IPv6 (::ffff:169.254.169.254) that previously bypassed the filter.

DescriptionCVE.org
Hi.Events validates a webhook destination only when it is registered, never when it is used. NoInternalUrlRule in backend/app/Validators/Rules/NoInternalUrlRule.php resolves the hostname with gethostbyname() and rejects private and reserved ranges, which any public hostname passes. At dispatch, WebhookDispatchService takes the stored URL and calls it through spatie/laravel-webhook-server without repeating the check, and backend/config/webhook-server.php sets no Guzzle options, so redirect following remains enabled by default. A destination that answers with a redirect to a loopback, private or cloud metadata address therefore causes the server to issue that request, and changing the hostname's DNS record after registration reaches the same result because no resolution is repeated. The response is not discarded: WebhookResponseHandlerService stores the body on the webhook log and WebhookLogResource returns it from the webhook logs endpoint, so the requester reads what the internal service replied rather than inferring it. Both event and organizer webhooks share the rule and the dispatch path. Version 1.11.1-beta revalidates at dispatch, pins the validated address, checks every redirect hop, and decodes IPv6 transition addresses that previously bypassed the filter.
Executive ViewAI
Hi.Events webhook functionality (versions prior to 1.11.1-beta) contains a vulnerability allowing authenticated platform users to exfiltrate cloud credentials, secrets, and access tokens. Attackers with a legitimate Hi.Events user account can configure webhooks that return sensitive data from internal services and cloud infrastructure, exposing this data through application logs. Compromised credentials enable unauthorized access to your cloud infrastructure and lateral network movement, creating material risk of infrastructure compromise.
