CVE-2019-0227
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in axis (Maven)

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) Proof of concept

What is CVE-2019-0227 About?

A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability affects the Apache Axis 1.4 distribution. This allows an attacker to compel the server to make requests to arbitrary domains chosen by the attacker. Exploitation requires knowledge of how to craft a request to the vulnerable endpoint.

Affected Software

  • org.apache.axis:axis
    • <=1.4
  • axis:axis
    • <=1.4

Technical Details

The Apache Axis 1.4 distribution, released in 2006, is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). This flaw typically arises when the server-side application fetches a remote resource without sufficiently validating the user-supplied URL. An attacker can provide a specially crafted URL or input that tricks the Axis framework into making requests to internal or external systems that the attacker would not normally be able to access directly. This can be used to scan internal networks, access sensitive internal services/files, or potentially leverage trust relationships with other services via the compromised server.

What is the Impact of CVE-2019-0227?

Successful exploitation may allow attackers to access internal network resources, bypass firewall rules, or interact with services unintended for public exposure, leading to information disclosure or further attacks.

What is the Exploitability of CVE-2019-0227?

Exploitation of this SSRF vulnerability generally requires an attacker to interact with a web service endpoint that processes user-supplied URLs or resource identifiers. The complexity is moderate, as it involves crafting a malicious request that bypasses any existing URL validation. No authentication is typically needed if the vulnerable endpoint is publicly accessible; if it's protected, a valid authenticated session may be required. No special privileges are necessary. This is a remote vulnerability, exploitable by sending a crafted request over the network. The presence of the outdated Apache Axis 1.4 distribution is a critical prerequisite for exploitation.
