Linuxfabrik monitoring-plugins 6.0.0 Server-Side Request Forgery
# Exploit Title: Linuxfabrik monitoring_plugins_6.0.0 - SSRF
# Date: 2026-07-17
# Exploit Author: Pig-Tail (Jorge González Milla)
# Vendor Homepage: https://github.com/Linuxfabrik/monitoring-plugins
# Software Link: https://github.com/Linuxfabrik/monitoring-plugins
# Version: Linuxfabrik monitoring-plugins <= 6.0.0 (fixed 6.0.1)
# Tested on: Linux
# CVE: N/A
# Category: webapps
# Full write-up & repo: https://github.com/Pig-Tail/security-research/tree/master/GHSA-96fx-pqc3-28xv-monitoring-plugins
An @odata.id value without a leading '/' rewrites the request authority; the plugin re-fetches with the Redfish Authorization header attached, leaking BMC credentials to an attacker host. Advisory: GHSA-96fx-pqc3-28xv.
The PoC is a benign, local verification harness (sentinel-based; no network attack, no
persistence, no destructive payload). Run against a local instance of the affected version.
