Authenticated internal network access via unrestricted cover fetch
Published Feb 16, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025
Server-side request forgery in BookWyrm before 0.3.0 allows remote authenticated users to make server-side requests via cover URLs. The cover-loading path accepts a member-supplied URL and retrieves it from the BookWyrm host without restricting the destination. Any logged-in member can direct the instance toward internal or otherwise server-reachable HTTP endpoints; public sources do not document whether response bodies are returned.
