Executive Summary

This is a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Progress MarkLogic Server versions before 12.1.0 (12.x) and 11.3.7 (11.x). An authenticated attacker can exploit it to make the server send unauthorized requests to internal cloud services, potentially accessing sensitive cloud credentials.

Detection Guidance

Detecting this vulnerability requires checking for unauthorized access to internal cloud services via server-side request forgery. Monitor network traffic for unusual outbound requests from MarkLogic Server instances, especially to internal IP ranges or cloud metadata endpoints. Inspect logs for unexpected access to cloud credentials or internal services. Ensure MarkLogic Server is updated to version 12.1.0 or later for 12.x releases, or 11.3.7 or later for 11.x releases.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could gain unauthorized access to internal cloud services, steal cloud credentials, or perform actions on behalf of the server. This may lead to data breaches, service disruption, or further compromise of cloud resources.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, violating GDPR (data protection) and HIPAA (health information privacy) requirements. Organizations may face legal penalties, fines, or reputational damage due to non-compliance.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade MarkLogic Server to version 12.1.0 or later for 12.x releases, or to version 11.3.7 or later for 11.x releases to address the server-side request forgery vulnerability.
