Background

terriajs-server is an npm package that provides a server for TerriaJS, a geospatial data visualization platform. It allows users to create and share maps with various data sources. The terriajs-server proxy is used to access HTTP resources from whitelisted servers or domains. However, versions prior to 2.7.4 are vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF).

Vulnerability Detail

The Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in terriajs-server allows an attacker to make requests to internal resources or external servers that are accessible to the server hosting the terriajs-server proxy. This can occur if the attacker has access to a whitelisted server or if they can modify the DNS records of a whitelisted domain. By exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker could potentially access private resources or perform actions on behalf of the server, leading to unauthorized access or data leakage.

How To Fix
