CVE-2024-52579
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedMisskey is an open source, federated social media platform. Some APIs using `HttpRequestService` do not properly check the target host. This vulnerability allows an attacker to send POST or GET requests to the internal server, which may result in a SSRF attack.It allows an attacker to send POST or GET requests (with some controllable URL parameters) to private IPs, enabling further attacks on internal servers. This issue has been addressed in version 2024.11.0-alpha.3. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
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.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceMisskey social media platform contains a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability where APIs using HttpRequestService lack proper target host validation. This allows authenticated or unauthenticated attackers to craft requests that reach internal/private IP addresses, potentially exposing internal services and infrastructure.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Misskey installationCheck for Misskey processes running (ps aux | grep misskey) or look for Misskey installation directories typically at /home/misskey, /opt/misskey, or in the application's root directory.Affected if Misskey is found running on the system
-
Locate version informationFind the version by checking package.json in the Misskey installation directory, or run 'git describe --tags' if it's a git clone, or check the admin panel if accessible.Affected if The installed version cannot be determined or is below 2024.11.0
-
Compare version to affected rangeCompare the found version against the affected versions: any version < 2024.11.0 or exactly 2024.11.0 is vulnerable.Affected if Installed version is less than 2024.11.0 or equals 2024.11.0
A user is affected if Misskey is installed and the version is below 2024.11.0 or exactly 2024.11.0.

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.
dbcve · scoped2024.11.0
Upgrade Misskey to version 2024.11.0-alpha.3 or later which implements proper host validation in HttpRequestService. No workaround exists; immediate upgrade is required.
2024.11.0 or later (including 2024.11.0-alpha.3)
- 1. Back up your current Misskey installation and database before upgrading
- 2. Update your Misskey installation to version 2024.11.0 or later
- 3. Restart the Misskey service to apply the changes
- 4. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the Misskey version in the admin panel or via API
