Craft CMS is a content management system. In Craft versions 3.5.0 through 4.16.17 and 5.0.0-RC1 through 5.8.21, the save_images_Asset GraphQL mutation can be abused to fetch internal URLs by providing a domain name that resolves to an internal IP address, bypassing hostname validation. When a non-image file extension such as .txt is allowed, downstream image validation is bypassed, which can allow an authenticated attacker with permission to use save_images_Asset to retrieve sensitive data such as AWS instance metadata credentials from the underlying host. This issue is patched in versions 4.16.18 and 5.8.22.

GHSA-96pq-hxpw-rgh8 — Craft CMS: save_images_Asset graphql mutation can be abused to exfiltrate AWS credentials of underlying host

Affected: Packagist: craftcms/craft

### Summary

- The save_images_Asset graphql mutation allows a user to give a url of an image to download. (Url must use a domain, not a raw IP.) - Attacker sets up domain attacker.domain with an A record of something like 169.254.169.254 (special AWS metadata IP) - Attacker invokes save_images_Asset with url: http://attacker.domain/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials and filename "foo.txt" - Craft fetches sensitive information on attacker's behalf, and makes it available for download at /assets/images/foo.txt - Normal checks to verify that image is valid are bypassed because of .txt extension - Normal checks to verify that url is not an IP address are bypassed because user provided a valid domain that resolves to a sensitive internal IP address

### Details

handleUpload() in src/gql/resolvers/mutations/Assets.php contains the code that processes the save_images_Asset mutation.

It has some basic validation logic for the url parameter (source of the image) and filename parameter (what to save image as):

``` } elseif (!empty($fileInformation['url'])) { $url = $fileInformation['url'];

// make sure the hostname is alphanumeric and not an IP address $hostname = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_HOST); if ( !filter_var($hostname, FILTER_VALIDATE_DOMAIN, FILTER_FLAG_HOSTNAME) || filter_var($hostname, FILTER_VALIDATE_IP) ) { throw new UserError("$url contains an invalid ho…
