CVE-2023-40017: GeoNode Server Side Request forgery

CVE-2023-40017 · Severity: low · CVSS 3.1 · Published 2023-08-24

GeoNode is an open source platform that facilitates the creation, sharing, and collaborative use of geospatial data. In versions 3.2.0 through 4.1.2, the endpoint `/proxy/?url=` does not properly protect against server-side request forgery. This allows an attacker to port scan internal hosts and request information from internal hosts. A patch is available at commit a9eebae80cb362009660a1fd49e105e7cdb499b9.

Technologies: geonode (PyPI). Vendors: PyPI.
