RAGFlow before 0.27.0 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to force the server to issue requests to arbitrar

RAGFlow before 0.27.0 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to force the server to issue requests to arbitrary internal or external endpoints by supplying an unvalidated base_url to the POST /v1/llm/set_api_key endpoint handled by set_api_key() in api/apps/llm_app.py. Attackers can exploit this flaw to probe shared-network services such as MySQL, Elasticsearch, Redis, MinIO, the Infinity vector database, and cloud metadata endpoints, with raw upstream exception text returned in the response leaking internal service details, open ports, and configuration fingerprints.

What it means for a small business

If your business uses ragflow, install the vendor's update. If you're not sure whether you use it, ask whoever manages your computers.

Check your own setup

Website check: reads what your site runs from the outside (WordPress version, plugins it can see, old server software) and matches it against this database.
Server check: what your web server says about itself, and whether that version has known flaws.
