Shopware: SSRF in Media External-Link Endpoint Bypasses IP Validation
GitHub lists this reviewed advisory for shopware/core, shopware/platform. Published version ranges and source prerequisites are shown below; this is not an inspection of a visitor’s application.
This report has not inspected your inventory, configuration, deployed build, reachability or evidence. A catalog listing and a severity score do not establish exposure or compromise.

## Summary The `/api/_action/media/external-link` endpoint allows authenticated admin users to make server-side HTTP HEAD requests to arbitrary internal IP addresses. While the parallel `uploadFromURL` flow validates target IPs against private/reserved ranges via `FileUrlValidator`, the `linkURL` flow only performs a URL format check (regex for `http://` or `https://` prefix), allowing SSRF to internal network services and cloud metadata endpoints. ## Details The vulnerability is an inconsistency between two URL-handling flows in `MediaUploadService`. **Vulnerable path** (`external-link`): `MediaUploadV2Controller::externalLink()` at `src/Core/Content/Media/Api/MediaUploadV2Controller.php:66` takes a user-supplied `url` parameter and passes it to `MediaUploadService::linkURL()` at `src/Core/Content/Media/Upload/MediaUploadService.php:134`. `linkURL()` calls `getContentSizeFromValidExternalUrl($url)` at line 159, which only validates via `validateExternalUrl()`: ```php // src/Core/Content/Media/Upload/MediaUploadService.php:207-212 public static function validateExternalUrl(string $url): void { if (!preg_match('/^https?:\/\/.+/', $url)) { throw MediaException::inv

03 / Response
What to do next
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. FIRST EPSS
- vendor patch
The original advisory lists fixed boundaries 6.7.10.1 for shopware/core. Confirm the publisher’s latest guidance.

A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
04 / Limits
What this report cannot establish
- Customer inventory, deployment, reachability and exploitation have not been inspected.
- NVD lastModified does not establish freshness of every associated CPE record.
