Technical details

The vulnerability is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in the GET route handler of @uppy/companion. The vulnerable code passes unsanitized user input from req.body.url directly to an HTTP GET request without validation or sanitization. An attacker can inject arbitrary URLs via the url parameter to make the server perform requests to internal IP addresses, private services, or other unintended targets. The attack requires network access to the companion server but no authentication. The vulnerability is fixed in version 1.9.3 and later.
