Verba RAG application version 2.1.3 contains an unauthenticated server-side request forgery vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to cause the backend to issue arbitrary HTTP GET requests by supplying attacker-controlled URLs through the WebSocket import endpoint. Attackers can connect to the /ws/import_files WebSocket endpoint without authentication, specify arbitrary URLs in the HTMLReader configuration, and cause the server to fetch internal resources such as co-located database endpoints or cloud instance metadata services to retrieve sensitive credentials.

Verba RAG application version 2.1.3 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability combined with a same-origin middleware bypass that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to make the server issue arbitrary HTTP requests by supplying a crafted Origin header and attacker-controlled host and port values. Attackers can bypass the localhost origin check in the API middleware by sending any Origin value prefixed with ' regardless of port, then submit arbitrary host and port parameters to the /api/connect endpoint to cause the server to issue outbound GET requests to attacker-controlled infrastructure.
