CSCuw86623: SSRF Vulnerability Fix
This fix ensures that gadgets that invoke 3rd party REST APIs proxied via Finesse shindig are authenticated by Shindig. After installation of 11.0(1) ES05, the REST proxy authentication is enabled by default. Finesse provides a new utils commands which can be used to disable / enable the authentication for the proxied REST request.
- utils finesserest_proxy_auth enable
- utils finesserest_proxy_auth disable
- utils finesserest_proxy_auth status
NOTE: When the REST proxy authentication is enabled, Finesse can operate only in HTTPS mode. If you need to disable HTTPS redirection, you need to disable REST proxy authentication as well.
For more details about SSRF, see Also, see the defect notes in the bug search tool.
