Technical details
The scaleImage function in serverless/src/scaleImage/handler.js of the scale endpoint is vulnerable to server-side request forgery (SSRF). The vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to manipulate image scaling requests to make the server fetch arbitrary URLs, including internal resources. No authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker can leverage this to discover internal network hosts, access internal services, or exfiltrate data from systems accessible only to the vulnerable application. The exploit is currently public and the vendor has not responded to early disclosure attempts.
