Unauthenticated server-side requests via unvalidated players URL
Published Nov 13, 2025 · Updated Nov 13, 2025
SSRF in the game export API in Lichess lila before 2025-06-02 allows remote attackers to make server-side requests to arbitrary URLs. Game.scala accepts the players query value as playerFile, and GameApiV2 sends it to RealPlayerApi.apply without validating the destination. The export endpoint is remotely reachable without authentication, enabling requests to attacker-chosen external or internal HTTP resources.
