CVE-2023-49795Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Internal file disclosure via unvalidated source URL

Published Dec 11, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Server-side request forgery in MindsDB before 23.11.4.1 allows remote attackers to retrieve supported files from internal hosts. The PUT method in mindsdb/api/http/namespaces/file.py passes the user-controlled source URL to requests.get without rejecting private destinations. No authentication is required; CSV, XLS, XLSX, JSON, and Parquet responses are viewable, while other reachable resources expose a blind status oracle.
