CWE ID 918

Summary

CVE-2023-50259 is a serious vulnerability affecting versions of the Medusa automatic video library manager prior to 1.0.19. This issue involves unauthenticated blind server-side request forgery (SSRF). The root cause is the `testslack` request handler in `medusa/server/web/home/handler.py`, which fails to validate the user-supplied `slack_webhook` variable. The vulnerable code path includes `notifiers.slack_notifier.test_notify`, `_notify_slack`, and `_send_slack` methods. An attacker can exploit this flaw by crafting malicious POST requests, which will be sent on behalf of the Medusa server from line 103 in `/medusa/notifiers/slack.py`. The consequence is a blind SSRF, allowing unauthorized access and potential data exfiltration. The vulnerability is rectified in version 1.0.19.
