Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote user to send server-side requests to arbitrary internal destinations.
The vulnerability exists due to improper control of server-side request targets in the Dashboard Studio PDF export feature when processing PDF export requests. A remote user can supply a crafted destination or redirect chain to send server-side requests to arbitrary internal destinations.
The issue is caused by trusted-domain validation that uses a prefix match and by automatic following of HTTP redirects without re-validating each redirect target against the allowlist.
