Strapi allows Server-Side Request Forgery in Webhook function
Description
In Strapi latest version, at function Settings -> Webhooks, the application allows us to input a URL in order to create a Webook connection. However, we can input into this field the local domains such as localhost, 127.0.0.1, 0.0.0.0,.... in order to make the Application fetching into the internal itself, which causes the vulnerability Server - Side Request Forgery (SSRF).
Payloads
http://127.0.0.1:80->The Port is not openhttp://127.0.0.1:1337->The Port which Strapi is running on
Steps to Reproduce
- First of all, let's input the URL
http://127.0.0.1:80into theURLfield, and click "Save".
- Next, use the "Trigger" function and use Burp Suite to capture the request / response
- The server return
request to http://127.0.0.1/ failed, reason: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:80, BECAUSE thePort 80is not open, since we are running Strapi onPort 1337, let's change the URL we input above intohttp://127.0.0.1:1337
- Continue to click the "Trigger" function, use Burp to capture the request / response
- The server returns
Method Not Allowed, which means that there actually is aPort 1337running the machine.

Impact
- If there is a real server running Strapi with many ports open, by using this SSRF vulnerability, the attacker can brute-force through all 65535 ports to know what ports are open.
