Technical details

An SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery) vulnerability existed in the Tenable integration endpoint (apps/backend/src/tenable/tenable.controller.ts) in Heimdall versions 2.11.6 through 2.13.x. The vulnerable code did not validate or restrict the target host URLs passed to the Tenable proxy, allowing attackers to redirect requests to arbitrary internal network addresses. The fix in version 2.14.0 implemented authentication requirements, host URL allowlist validation, and explicit protocol enforcement. The vulnerability is network-reachable and does not require authentication or user interaction on the victim's part.
