CVE-2026-43993

Dragonmonk111 · JunoClaw

JunoClaw is susceptible to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), allowing unauthenticated attackers to force the server to make unintended requests to internal or external resources.

Executive summary

An unauthenticated SSRF vulnerability in the JunoClaw AI platform enables unauthorized interactions with internal network resources, posing a significant risk to infrastructure security.

Vulnerability

The platform fails to properly validate inputs, leading to a Server-Side Request Forgery (CWE-918) vulnerability. This can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker to probe internal services or perform requests on behalf of the server.

Business impact

With a CVSS score of 8.2, this vulnerability allows attackers to bypass network perimeters, potentially accessing sensitive internal APIs or cloud metadata services. Such access can lead to unauthorized information disclosure and serve as a pivot point for deeper network intrusion.

Remediation

Immediate Action: Update to version v0.x.y-security-1 or apply the fix provided in the referenced commit (a168608).

Proactive Monitoring: Review web application firewall (WAF) logs for suspicious outbound requests originating from the JunoClaw server.

Compensating Controls: Configure the server's network egress rules to block traffic to internal-only IP ranges and metadata services (e.g., 169.254.169.254).

Exploitation status

Public Exploit Available: Unknown.

Analyst recommendation

The JunoClaw platform should be updated immediately to the secured version. Until updates are applied, network-level egress filtering is strongly recommended to mitigate the impact of potential SSRF exploitation.
