Overview
CVE-2025-65109 describes a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability identified in the Minder open source software supply chain security platform. This vulnerability affects Minder Helm versions prior to 0.20250203.3849+ref.fdc94f0 and Minder Go versions from 0.0.72 up to and including 0.0.83. It allows Minder users to potentially fetch content in the context of the Minder server, including URLs that the user would not normally have access to. A patch has been released to address this vulnerability.
Technical Details
The vulnerability stems from insufficient validation or sanitization of user-supplied input that is used to construct URLs for fetching resources. An attacker could potentially craft a malicious URL that, when processed by the Minder server, would cause the server to make requests to internal resources or external services that are otherwise inaccessible to the user. This could expose sensitive information or allow the attacker to perform actions on behalf of the server.
The specific code change that addresses this issue can be found in the commit mentioned in the references.
CVSS Analysis
Currently, no CVSS score or severity level has been assigned to CVE-2025-65109. However, SSRF vulnerabilities are generally considered to be of moderate to high severity, depending on the scope of the affected resources and the potential impact of unauthorized access. An SSRF vulnerability can lead to information disclosure, denial of service, or even remote code execution in some scenarios.
Possible Impact
The potential impact of this SSRF vulnerability includes:
- Information Disclosure: An attacker could potentially access sensitive information residing on internal servers or services that are not directly exposed to the internet.
- Denial of Service (DoS): By targeting internal services, an attacker could overload them and cause a denial of service.
- Privilege Escalation: In some cases, an attacker might be able to use the SSRF vulnerability to gain unauthorized access to resources or functionalities with higher privileges.
Mitigation and Patch Steps
To mitigate the risk associated with CVE-2025-65109, users of Minder are strongly advised to upgrade to the patched versions:
- Minder Helm: Upgrade to version 0.20250203.3849+ref.fdc94f0 or later.
- Minder Go: Upgrade to version 0.0.84 or later.
If upgrading is not immediately possible, consider implementing network-level restrictions and input validation mechanisms to limit the scope of potential SSRF attacks.
