HKUDS nanobot before 0.3.0 Server-Side Request Forgery via WebFetchTool
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 36/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.44% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
- Fixed version: HKUDS nanobot 0.3.0.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to HKUDS nanobot 0.3.0 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
HKUDS nanobot before 0.3.0 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the WebFetchTool component where the _validate_url() function fails to block internal IP ranges and private addresses. Attackers can send messages instructing the bot to fetch cloud metadata endpoints, localhost services, and RFC 1918 addresses to extract IAM credentials and internal service data.
