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
An issue pertaining to CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery was discovered in oslabs-beta ThermaKube master.

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

A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability (CWE-918) in oslabs-beta ThermaKube master allows attackers to make the server perform arbitrary requests to internal or external resources.

MitigationImplement strict allowlist validation for URLs/hostnames and disable unnecessary request-following capabilities in the affected ThermaKube component.

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. Confirm ThermaKube installation
    Check if the ThermaKube package or container is present in your environment by searching for 'thermakube' in running processes, installed packages, or container listings (e.g., docker ps, kubectl get pods)
    Affected if ThermaKube is installed and running as any version is affected
  2. Identify the ThermaKube master component
    Locate the ThermaKube master service by examining running services, Kubernetes deployments, or Docker containers labeled as 'master' or the main API/controller component
    Affected if The master component is deployed and running
  3. Check if master component is network-exposed
    Review network configurations, service definitions, or ingress rules to determine if the ThermaKube master API or controller port is accessible from untrusted networks
    Affected if The master component has a network listener exposed to non-internal networks or the internet
  4. Inspect for URL/request handling features
    Review ThermaKube configuration files, environment variables, or API endpoints that accept user-supplied URLs or hostnames as input, particularly in features related to external resource fetching, webhooks, or integrations
    Affected if The component accepts URLs or hostnames in request parameters without strict allowlist validation
  5. Review access logs for suspicious requests
    Examine ThermaKube master component logs for incoming requests to endpoints that accept URLs, looking for patterns like requests to internal IP addresses (127.0.0.1, 10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x), internal hostnames, or cloud metadata endpoints
    Affected if Logs show requests to internal resources or non-external URLs that were not initiated by legitimate internal services

You are affected if ThermaKube is running and its master component accepts URL or hostname inputs that can be manipulated to make the server fetch arbitrary internal or external resources.
