Technical details
A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in Boruta due to insufficient validation of user-supplied URIs in three code paths: OAuth 'request_uri' fetching, OpenID Connect dynamic client registration 'jwks_uri' parsing, and JWK refreshing. The vulnerable components in 'lib/boruta/oauth/request/base.ex', 'lib/boruta/openid.ex', and 'lib/boruta/adapters/ecto/clients.ex' dereference URIs using the Finch HTTP client without enforcing HTTPS, host allowlists, or restricting access to loopback and private IP ranges. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this to scan internal networks or access cloud metadata endpoints (e.g., 169.254.169.254). The issue is fixed in version 2.3.7 by pinning outbound requests to trusted authorities.
