Technical details

The fetchDataSourceMetaData API route in OpenSearch Dashboards fails to validate endpoint URLs against configured security blocklists (endpointDeniedIPs and endpointAllowlistedSuffixes), while the sibling test_connection route performs proper validation. An authenticated attacker can submit arbitrary internal or loopback endpoints to the unvalidated route to conduct SSRF attacks and reconnaissance on internal network resources.

Affected products

  • OpenSearch Project OpenSearch Dashboards 2.14.0 before 2.19.6, 3.0.0 before 3.7.0
