Background
Codiad is an open-source web-based IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that allows users to write and edit code remotely. It provides a range of features for developers, including syntax highlighting, file management, and collaboration tools. However, versions 1.7.8 and later of Codiad are vulnerable to a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attack. SSRF allows an attacker to make requests on behalf of the server, potentially leading to unauthorized access or remote code execution. It is important to note that Codiad is no longer actively maintained by core contributors.
Vulnerability Detail
The SSRF vulnerability in Codiad arises from a flaw in the plugin install feature. An authenticated user with admin privileges can exploit this vulnerability by manipulating the components/market/class.market.php file to make the server request any URL. This can result in remote code execution, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the server. The impact of this vulnerability can be severe, as it provides unauthorized access to sensitive information and can compromise the integrity and availability of the affected system.
How To Fix
