CVE-2025-68696
Description
A flaw was found in httparty, an API tool. This Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability allows an attacker to trick the server into making requests to internal resources or other external domains on their behalf. This can lead to the disclosure of sensitive information, such as API keys, and enable unauthorized access to internal servers.
Statement
This vulnerability is rated Important for Red Hat as it affects rubygem-httparty in Fedora. The Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) flaw in httparty versions 0.23.2 and prior could lead to the leakage of API keys and allow unauthorized requests to internal servers. This impacts applications utilizing httparty for API interactions within the Red Hat ecosystem.
Mitigation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Confidentiality
Technical Impact: Read Application Data
Integrity
Technical Impact: Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands
Access Control
Technical Impact: Bypass Protection Mechanism
By providing URLs to unexpected hosts or ports, attackers can make it appear that the server is sending the request, possibly bypassing access controls such as firewalls that prevent the attackers from accessing the URLs directly. The server can be used as a proxy to conduct port scanning of hosts in internal networks, use other URLs such as that can access documents on the system (using file://), or use other protocols such as gopher:// or tftp://, which may provide greater control over the contents of requests.
