Summary
A server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability was found in galaxy_ng, the Ansible Galaxy server plugin for Pulp. An authenticated user with namespace management permissions can set a namespace avatar URL to an arbitrary address, including internal networks, loopback, or cloud instance metadata endpoints. A background worker fetches that URL without checking the destination, which lets the attacker probe internal services and enumerate reachable IP addresses. The HTTP client is also configured without an overall timeout, so a slow or non-responsive target can pin workers and cause a denial of service.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes the ability to scan internal networks, access cloud metadata, and potential denial of service due to pinned workers, potentially leading to confidentiality and availability breaches.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade galaxy_ng to a patched version, restrict namespace management permissions, and configure timeouts for the HTTP client.
