v2.4.1 - Critical Security Patch (SSRF Fix)

🔒 Security Patch v2.4.1

Release Date: November 25, 2025
Severity: CRITICAL
CVE: CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery)

⚠️ IMPORTANT - Immediate Upgrade Recommended

This is a critical security patch that fixes a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the GitHub API endpoint.

🐛 Security Fix

SSRF Vulnerability (CodeQL Alert #8)

Issue:
The GitHub API endpoint (/api/github) accepted user-controlled repository names without validation, allowing potential SSRF attacks.

Risk:

• Attackers could access internal network endpoints
• GitHub token could be exploited for unauthorized repos
• Network security boundaries could be bypassed
• Potential information disclosure

Fix:

• Added repository allowlist validation
• Only allows Fused-Gaming organization repos
• Returns 400 error on invalid repository names
• Added comprehensive security comments

Allowlist

Valid repositories:

• Fused-Gaming/DevOps
• Fused-Gaming/vln
• Fused-Gaming/wallet
• Fused-Gaming/attorney-finder-bot
• Fused-Gaming/BetCartel
• Fused-Gaming/GrindOS
• Fused-Gaming/vise
• Fused-Gaming/.github

📦 Files Changed

Modified:

• devops-panel/app/api/github/route.ts
  • Added ALLOWED_REPOS constant
  • Validate repo parameter against allowlist
  • Added security documentation

🔐 Security Impact

Before:

const repo = searchParams.get("repo") || "Fused-Gaming/DevOps";
// Direct use - VULNERABLE
fetch(`https://api.github.com/repos/${repo}/actions/runs`)

After:

const ALLOWED_REPOS = [/* ... */];
if (!ALLOWED_REPOS.includes(requestedRepo)) {
  return error; // SECURE
}
fetch(`https://api.github.com/repos/${repo}/actions/runs`)

🚀 Deployment

Production: https://dev.vln.gg
Status: ✅ Deployed

📊 Details

• CodeQL Alert: #8 (RESOLVED)
• CWE: CWE-918
• OWASP: Server-Side Request Forgery
• Severity: Critical
• CVSS: 9.1 (estimated)

✅ Verification

Test the fix:

# Valid repo - should work
curl https://dev.vln.gg/api/github?repo=Fused-Gaming/DevOps

# Invalid repo - should return 400
curl https://dev.vln.gg/api/github?repo=malicious/repo

🔄 Upgrade Path

git pull origin main
git checkout v2.4.1
