Unleash: Addon webhook URL is dialed server-side with no internal-address filtering, enabling SSRF to internal services / cloud metadata and exfiltration of configured request headers
GitHub lists this reviewed advisory for unleash-server, unleash-server, unleash-server. 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.
01 / Meaning
Why it matters
Published affected context helps an owner decide what evidence to gather. This report has not examined your application.

## Summary Unleash's addon/integration subsystem lets an operator configure a webhook (and the Slack, Microsoft Teams, Datadog, and New Relic integrations) with a target `url` parameter. Whenever a subscribed feature-flag event fires, the Unleash server itself issues an HTTP request to that configured URL. The URL is taken verbatim from the addon's `parameters.url` and passed straight to the HTTP client (`ky`) with no validation of the host: there is no allow-list, no deny-list, and no blocking of loopback, link-local, RFC1918, or cloud-metadata addresses anywhere in the addon code path. A principal able to create or update an addon can therefore point the server at an internal-only URL — for example `http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/…` (cloud IMDS), `http://127.0.0.1:/…` (a service bound to localhost), or any RFC1918 host — and cause the Unleash server to dial it from inside the trust boundary. The request is blind (the response body is not returned to the caller), but the addon records whether the request succeeded and its HTTP status into the integration-event log, giving a status/timing oracle for probing internal services. In addition, the webhook provider forwa

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. GitHub Advisory Database
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.
05 / Provenance
Sources you can inspect
Each assertion retains its source. Mirrored records may repeat one underlying publisher; additional links are not independent corroboration.
