Describe the bug

A critical Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in the AIxBlock production application at workflow.aixblock.io. The application contains hardcoded internal URLs (https://127.0.0.1:9090) in the frontend JavaScript code, allowing attackers to make requests to internal network services and bypass network segmentation.

Vulnerability Type: SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery)
Severity: CRITICAL (CVSS 9.0-10.0)
Status: LIVE IN PRODUCTION
Affected Domain: workflow.aixblock.io (Critical asset per bug bounty scope)

To Reproduce

Step 1: Access the Vulnerable Application

1. Go to https://workflow.aixblock.io
2. Open browser Developer Tools (F12)
3. Navigate to the Network tab

Step 2: Identify Vulnerable Code

1. In Developer Tools, go to Sources tab
2. Look for JavaScript files:
   • /assets/index-CBBdm-tg.js
   • /general-editor/static/js/main.js
   • /llm-editor/main.js

Step 3: Verify Hardcoded Internal URLs

1. Search for "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" in the JavaScript files
2. Found 13 instances of localhost references in production code
3. Locate the vulnerable code pattern:

   const backendURL = "https://127.0.0.1:9090";
   fetch(backendURL + "/model_trial", requestOptions)

Step 4: Demonstrate Vulnerability

1. The application attempts to make requests to internal services
2. These requests are blocked by network segmentation (expected)
3. However, the vulnerability is confirmed because the code attempts internal network access

Step 5: Verify in Source Code

1. Check the repository files:
   • frontend/src/pages/Project/Settings/ML/ModelDetail/Index.tsx:494
   • frontend/src/components/ModelMarketplace/ModelDetail/Index.tsx:589

Expected behavior

The application should:

• Use proper configuration-based URLs instead of hardcoded internal addresses
• Implement proper URL validation and whitelisting
• Not attempt to access internal network services from frontend code
• Route all requests through secure API gateways

Additional context

Technical Details

• Vulnerability Pattern: Hardcoded internal URLs in frontend JavaScript
• Attack Vector: SSRF through frontend code execution
• Internal Services Targeted: Port 9090 (model_trial endpoint)
• Network Impact: Bypasses network segmentation and firewalls

Affected Files

1. frontend/src/pages/Project/Settings/ML/ModelDetail/Index.tsx:494

   const backendURL = "https://127.0.0.1:9090";
   fetch(backendURL + "/model_trial", requestOptions)

2. frontend/src/components/ModelMarketplace/ModelDetail/Index.tsx:589

   const backendURL = "https://127.0.0.1:9090";
   // ... similar vulnerable code pattern

Live Production Evidence

• Domain: workflow.aixblock.io
• JavaScript Files: 3 files contain localhost references
• Total Instances: 13 hardcoded localhost references found
• Status: LIVE AND EXPLOITABLE

Impact Assessment

• Internal Network Access: Attackers can access internal services
• Service Enumeration: Discover internal infrastructure
• Privilege Escalation: Access internal admin panels
• Data Breach: Access sensitive internal data
• Network Bypass: Circumvent network segmentation

Immediate Remediation Required

1. Remove all hardcoded internal URLs
2. Implement proper URL validation and whitelisting
3. Add network segmentation controls
4. Route all requests through secure API gateways
5. Conduct comprehensive security audit
