Description
Summary
The `webhook_url` field in the Jobs API silently passes validation when DNS resolution fails (`socket.gaierror`), enabling DNS rebinding attacks. An attacker's domain can initially resolve to a public IP (passing validation) then switch to an internal IP before the server makes the HTTP request.
Details
The validator catches `socket.gaierror` and silently allows the URL:
```python
src/praisonai/praisonai/jobs/models.py:55
try:
ip = socket.gethostbyname(hostname)
ip_obj = ipaddress.ip_address(ip)
if ip_obj.is_private or ip_obj.is_loopback:
raise ValueError("private address")
except socket.gaierror:
pass # BUG: DNS failure silently ignored → SSRF bypass
```
The HTTP call is made later with no re-validation:
```python
src/praisonai/praisonai/jobs/executor.py:402
async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
await client.post(job.webhook_url, ...) # no second IP check
```
Proof of Concept
DNS rebinding flow:
1. Register `attacker.com` with TTL=1s → resolves to `1.2.3.4` (public IP)
2. Submit job: `webhook_url=http://attacker.com/callback`
3. Validation passes (public IP)
4. Switch DNS: `attacker.com` → `127.0.0.1`
5. Job completes → server POSTs to `127.0.0.1` → internal SSRF
Unresolvable domain bypass (no DNS rebinding required):
```bash
curl -X POST http://:8005/api/v1/runs \
-d '{"prompt":"run","webhook_url":"http://unresolvable.internal/cb","agent_yaml":"..."}'
Validation: gaierror → pass → URL accepted
```
Impact
SSRF to internal HTTP services: admin panels, databases, and cloud metadata APIs (e.g., `http://169.254.169.254/`). Exploitable without authentication.
