Unauthorized local service requests via UNIX socket redirects
Published Jun 18, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Improper redirect validation in got before 11.8.5 and 12.0.0 through 12.0.3 allows remote attackers to send requests to UNIX sockets. The request redirect handler constructs a URL from an untrusted Location header and follows unix-scheme or unix-host destinations without rejecting a transition from a network URL. A consuming Node.js application must request an attacker-influenced endpoint and follow its redirect; the resulting access is limited to operations exposed by a reachable local socket service.
