Description
Summary
The `resource-js` endpoint in Craft CMS allows unauthenticated requests to proxy remote JavaScript resources.
When `trustedHosts` is not explicitly restricted (default configuration), the application trusts the client-supplied Host header.
This allows an attacker to control the derived `baseUrl`, which is used in prefix validation inside `actionResourceJs()`.
By supplying a malicious Host header, the attacker can make the server issue arbitrary HTTP requests, leading to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF).
Details
The vulnerability exists in `AppController::actionResourceJs()`.
The function validates that the `url` parameter starts with `assetManager->baseUrl`. However, `baseUrl` is derived from the current request host. If `trustedHosts` is not configured, the Host header is fully attacker-controlled.
Attack chain:
1. Attacker sends request with controlled `Host` header.
2. Application derives `baseUrl` from the malicious Host.
3. `url` parameter is required to start with this `baseUrl`.
4. Validation passes.
5. Guzzle performs a server-side HTTP request to the attacker-controlled host.
6. SSRF occurs.
This does not rely on string parsing bypass. It relies on Host header trust.
PoC (safe reproduction steps)
Environment:
• Craft CMS 5.9.12
• Default configuration (no trustedHosts restriction)
• Docker deployment
1. Start a listener inside the container:
python3 -m http.server 9999
2. Send a request to resource-js with a controlled Host header.
3. Observe that the internal listener receives a request (OOB confirmation).
