Authenticated command execution via localhost webhook requests
Published Jun 18, 2025 · Updated Jun 23, 2025
SSRF in Versa Director 21.2.2, 21.2.3, and 22.1.1 through 22.1.4 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands via webhooks. The Add Webhook and Test Webhook actions accept attacker-controlled destinations and issue server-side HTTP requests to localhost without blocking loopback access. An authenticated user must reach the Director GUI; successful exploitation runs commands as the versa account, whose sudo privileges enable full system compromise.
