CVE-2025-70027
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 · uneditedAn issue pertaining to CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery was discovered in Sunbird-Ed SunbirdEd-portal v1.13.4. This allows attackers to obtain sensitive information
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 confidenceA Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability (CWE-918) in SunbirdEd-portal v1.13.4 allows remote attackers to craft malicious requests causing the server to make unintended connections to internal or external resources, potentially exposing sensitive backend information, internal services, or cloud metadata.

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 if SunbirdEd-portal is installedCheck for SunbirdEd-portal application files, services, or containers in your environment. Look for directories named 'SunbirdEd-portal', 'portal', or check running processes for 'sunbird' or 'portal' related services.Affected if SunbirdEd-portal is present in the environment
-
Determine the installed version of SunbirdEd-portalCheck the version file, package.json, or application metadata. Common locations: /opt/sunbird-ed-portal/version, package.json version field, or the application's 'about' page. Compare the version to 1.13.4.Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.13.4
-
Identify if URL/hostname input features are enabledReview the application configuration files (config.json, application.conf) and look for features that accept URL or hostname inputs, such as link preview, URL fetch, webhook callbacks, or content embedding. Check if these endpoints are accessible.Affected if The application has URL/hostname input functionality enabled and accessible without strict allowlist validation
-
Test for SSRF vulnerability in URL parametersSubmit a crafted request with an internal URL (such as http://localhost, http://127.0.0.1, or a cloud metadata endpoint like http://169.254.169.254) to any URL-input field in the application and observe if the server makes the request. Common parameter names include 'url', 'link', 'href', 'src', 'redirect', or 'callback'.Affected if The application makes outbound requests to user-supplied URLs, indicating the vulnerable feature is present and exploitable
A user is affected if SunbirdEd-portal version 1.13.4 is installed and the application exposes URL or hostname input functionality that processes user-supplied URLs without strict allowlist validation.
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.
From vendor dataImplement strict allowlist-based input validation for all URL/hostname parameters, disable unnecessary URL protocols, and apply network segmentation to prevent the application server from accessing internal infrastructure.
