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
Budibase before 3.40.0 contains server-side request forgery vulnerabilities in OpenAPI query import and REST query execution that allow authenticated builder-level users to bypass DNS pinning protections through DNS rebinding attacks. Attackers can configure hostnames that resolve to public addresses during validation but resolve to loopback or private addresses during actual connection, allowing access to blocked internal HTTP services.

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.

How this class of weakness works · CWE-918

The server can be induced to make requests to a URL an attacker controls, turning it into a proxy into internal networks and cloud metadata services. It's especially dangerous behind a trusted network boundary. The fix is strict allow-listing of destinations and blocking access to internal address ranges.

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.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Budibase version 3.40.0 or later

  1. 1. Identify the currently installed Budibase version by checking the application admin panel or deployment configuration
  2. 2. If running a version before 3.40.0, plan for upgrade to version 3.40.0 or later
  3. 3. For Docker deployments: Pull the latest Budibase Docker image tagged with version 3.40.0 or newer
  4. 4. For Kubernetes deployments: Update the Helm chart or deployment manifests to specify image version 3.40.0 or later
  5. 5. Review Budibase release notes for 3.40.0 to confirm SSRF fixes address DNS rebinding protections
  6. 6. After upgrade, verify that REST query and OpenAPI import features no longer allow DNS rebinding attacks
  7. 7. Test by attempting to access internal services (loopback/private addresses) through REST queries - these should be blocked
Caveat Review release notes for 3.40.0 - minor breaking changes possible; test in staging before production deployment
