Description
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input with API implementation. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems, when requests to the internal network for webhooks are enabled.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.
