CVE-2024-56800

Summary

CVE-2024-56800 is a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability affecting Firecrawl, a web scraper used for extracting content from webpages for large language models. Versions prior to 1.1.1 contain this issue, which could be exploited by malicious sites that redirect to local IP addresses. This allows exfiltration of local network resources through the API. The cloud service was patched on December 27th, 2024, and no user data was compromised. However, open-source users need to upgrade to v1.1.1 to mitigate the risk. As a workaround, open-source users can provide a secure proxy via the `PROXY_SERVER` env variable, ensuring it blocks all traffic to link-local IP addresses. The maintainers are still working on patching the un-patchable playwright services.
