{"id":"GHSA-wm69-2pc3-rmmf","summary":"Crawl4AI: Unauthenticated SSRF on the Docker server streaming crawl path (/crawl/stream)","details":"### Summary\n\nThe Docker API server applied its SSRF destination check (`validate_url_destination`) on the non-streaming `/crawl` path but not on the streaming path. `handle_stream_crawl_request` passed seed URLs straight to the crawler with no destination validation. A remote, unauthenticated client could call `POST /crawl/stream` (or `POST /crawl` with `crawler_config.stream=true`, which short-circuits to the same handler) with a URL pointing at an internal, private, or link-local address; the server fetched it and streamed the response body back. The Docker API is unauthenticated by default.\n\n### Affected paths\n\n`POST /crawl/stream`, and `POST /crawl` with `crawler_config.stream=true` (both route to `handle_stream_crawl_request`, `deploy/docker/api.py`).\n\n### Impact\n\nUnauthenticated read server-side request forgery: an attacker reads internal-only services and cloud-metadata endpoints (e.g. `http://169.254.169.254/` for IAM credentials), with the response body streamed back. This is the same class and severity as the project's prior \"SSRF via Direct Crawl Endpoints\" advisory; `/crawl/stream` is part of that endpoint family and was never covered by the destination check.\n\n### Fix\n\n`handle_stream_crawl_request` now validates every seed URL's destination with the same global-routability check as `handle_crawl_request`, before any fetch. The SSRF regression test was hardened to assert per-handler coverage (including the streaming handler) rather than a bare occurrence count, which previously let this gap pass.\n\n### Workarounds\n\n- Upgrade to the patched version (0.9.0).\n- Enable authentication and restrict who can reach the API (note: this does not constrain which URL the API fetches).\n- Restrict the container's outbound network access (egress firewall / no metadata route).\n\n### Credits\n\nKOH Jun Sheng - reported the streaming-path SSRF with a runnable PoC and noted the count-based regression test that masked it, plus the shared root cause with redirect/deep-crawl link following.","aliases":["CVE-2026-57573","PYSEC-2026-2140"],"modified":"2026-07-13T07:26:30.013624855Z","published":"2026-06-18T17:25:50Z","database_specific":{"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-06-18T17:25:50Z","nvd_published_at":null,"cwe_ids":["CWE-918"]},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/unclecode/crawl4ai/security/advisories/GHSA-wm69-2pc3-rmmf"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/unclecode/crawl4ai"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"crawl4ai","ecosystem":"PyPI","purl":"pkg:pypi/crawl4ai"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.9.0"}]}],"versions":["0.3.0","0.3.1","0.3.2","0.3.3","0.3.4","0.3.5","0.3.6","0.3.7","0.3.71","0.3.72","0.3.73","0.3.731","0.3.74","0.3.741","0.3.742","0.3.743","0.3.744","0.3.745","0.3.746","0.3.8","0.4.0","0.4.1","0.4.21","0.4.22","0.4.23","0.4.24","0.4.241","0.4.242","0.4.243","0.4.244","0.4.245","0.4.246","0.4.247","0.4.248","0.4.248b3","0.4.3b1","0.4.3b2","0.4.3b3","0.5.0","0.5.0.post1","0.5.0.post2","0.5.0.post3","0.5.0.post4","0.5.0.post5","0.5.0.post6","0.5.0.post7","0.5.0.post8","0.6.0","0.6.0rc1","0.6.1","0.6.2","0.6.3","0.7.0","0.7.1","0.7.2","0.7.3","0.7.4","0.7.5","0.7.6","0.7.7","0.7.8","0.8.0","0.8.5","0.8.6","0.8.7","0.8.8","0.8.9"],"database_specific":{"last_known_affected_version_range":"\u003c= 0.8.9","source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/06/GHSA-wm69-2pc3-rmmf/GHSA-wm69-2pc3-rmmf.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N"}]}
