NVD · unedited
CWE-918 Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in eventmesh-runtime module in WebhookUtil.java on windows\linux\mac os e.g. allows the attacker can abuse functionality on the server to read or update internal resources. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.12.0 or use the master branch , which fixes this issue.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed Apache EventMesh version
    Check the version file or build artifact in the EventMesh installation directory. Common locations: version file in conf/ folder, or check the jar/war file metadata (META-INF/MANIFEST.MF or build properties).
    Affected if Version is less than 1.12.0 (any 1.x.x version before 1.12.0)
  2. Locate WebhookUtil.java in the deployment
    Search the eventmesh-runtime jar or source code for WebhookUtil.java. In deployed systems, check the classpath or libs folder for eventmesh-runtime-{version}.jar and verify if the WebhookUtil class exists.
    Affected if WebhookUtil class exists in the eventmesh-runtime module (vulnerable code present)
  3. Determine if webhook configuration is enabled
    Inspect EventMesh configuration files (eventmesh.properties or eventmesh-conf.properties) for webhook-related settings. Look for keys containing 'webhook' or 'hook' that enable or configure webhook functionality.
    Affected if Webhook feature is enabled in the configuration (any webhook.* properties set to true or pointing to valid endpoints)
  4. Check for exposed webhook endpoints
    Review network listeners and HTTP server configurations. Look for endpoints registered under /webhook/ path or similar webhook-related URL patterns in the HTTP server configuration.
    Affected if HTTP endpoints accepting webhook requests are exposed (particularly unauthenticated or weakly authenticated webhook handlers)
  5. Verify webhook callback URLs are configurable
    Examine the webhook configuration files for 'callback' or 'notify' URL settings that control where webhook requests are sent. Check if these can be configured to internal network addresses.
    Affected if Webhook callback URLs are configurable and can be set to arbitrary addresses (enabling SSRF exploitation)

You are affected if running Apache EventMesh version less than 1.12.0 AND the webhook feature is enabled with configurable callback URLs.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 1.12.0 or later
Fixed in 1.12.0
Interim mitigation

Upgrade to Apache EventMesh version 1.12.0 or apply the fix from the master branch to address the SSRF vulnerability in WebhookUtil.java.

Recommended fix High confidence

EventMesh 1.12.0

  1. 1. Back up your current EventMesh installation and configuration data
  2. 2. Download Apache EventMesh version 1.12.0 from the official Apache distribution repository
  3. 3. Stop the running EventMesh service
  4. 4. Replace the existing EventMesh installation with the new version 1.12.0
  5. 5. Restore or reapply your custom configuration settings
  6. 6. Start the EventMesh service and verify it functions correctly
