Authenticated SSRF via unvalidated Whois referrals
Published Feb 26, 2026 · Updated Feb 26, 2026
SSRF in PSI Probe 5.3.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to reach internal services through crafted Whois queries. The Whois lookup() method follows an attacker-controlled ReferralServer value by opening a TCP connection to its host and port without validating the destination. A valid session and control of a Whois response are required, exposing an internal-service reachability oracle and server-originated connections.
