Technical details

The POST /api/admin/builder/markdown/fetch endpoint in Lara Dashboard through 1.3.1 is vulnerable to server-side request forgery (SSRF) due to insufficient URL validation in the MarkdownFetchService. An authenticated attacker can supply a malicious URL to retrieve responses from internal HTTP services, local metadata endpoints (e.g., AWS IAM credentials), or restricted internal resources. The vulnerability requires authentication but does not restrict redirect chains or enforce hostname validation. Responses are returned to the attacker, enabling data exfiltration from internal environments. The vulnerability affects versions up to 1.3.1.
