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 · unedited
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in kodeshpa Simplified simplified allows Server Side Request Forgery.This issue affects Simplified: from n/a through <= 1.0.11.

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 · moderate confidence

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in kodeshpa Simplified web application (versions up to 1.0.11) allows attackers to make the server perform arbitrary network requests to internal or external resources by manipulating input parameters used in server-side request operations.

MitigationUpgrade to a patched version of Simplified if available; otherwise, implement strict URL/URI allowlist validation and network segmentation to prevent the server from accessing unauthorized internal resources or cloud metadata endpoints.

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 if Simplified web application is installed
    Locate web application files - look for directory or package named 'simplified', 'kodeshpa', or similar web app artifacts (config files, source code, or installed package). Check common web root locations or installed packages.
    Affected if The Simplified web application by kodeshpa is present on the server
  2. Determine installed version of Simplified
    Check version metadata - examine VERSION file, package.json, composer.json, or any version indicator within the application files. Compare against 1.0.11.
    Affected if Installed version is 1.0.11 or lower (any version up to and including 1.0.11)
  3. Identify server-side request features
    Locate code handling URL/URI input - search for functions that perform HTTP requests (curl, file_get_contents, fetch, axios, httpx, requests) and accept user-supplied URLs. Check endpoints that accept URL parameters.
    Affected if The application processes user-supplied URLs in server-side request operations
  4. Verify input validation on URL parameters
    Examine how URL parameters are validated - check if the application allows arbitrary URLs or has allowlist restrictions. Test with an internal endpoint URL (e.g., http://localhost or metadata service) to see if the server fetches it.
    Affected if URL parameters accept arbitrary URLs without strict allowlist validation

A user is affected if the kodeshpa Simplified web application version 1.0.11 or lower is installed and exposes URL-handling input parameters without strict allowlist validation.

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.
