CVE-2025-13809
📋 TL;DR
This CVE describes a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in orionsec's orion-ops software. Attackers can manipulate SSH connection parameters (host, port, username, password, authType) to make the server send unauthorized requests to internal systems. Organizations using vulnerable versions of orion-ops are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- orionsec orion-ops
📦 What is this software?
Orion Ops by Orionsec
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attackers could pivot to internal systems, access sensitive data, or perform internal network reconnaissance leading to further compromise.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to internal services, data exfiltration from internal systems, or scanning of internal network resources.
If Mitigated
Limited to accessing only allowed internal services if proper network segmentation and input validation are in place.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit requires access to the SSH connection functionality; public proof-of-concept available
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: None available
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Monitor vendor for patch release
2. Apply patch when available
3. Restart orion-ops service
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation
allImplement strict input validation for SSH connection parameters
Network Segmentation
allRestrict orion-ops server's network access to only required internal services
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement web application firewall rules to block SSRF patterns
- Disable or restrict SSH connection functionality if not required
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if your orion-ops version is at or before commit 5925824997a3109651bbde07460958a7be249ed1Check Version:
Check git commit hash or version metadata in orion-ops installationVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that input validation is implemented for SSH connection parameters in MachineInfoController.java📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SSH connection attempts to internal IPs
- Requests to unexpected internal services from orion-ops server
Network Indicators:
- Outbound connections from orion-ops server to unexpected internal services
- SSH traffic to non-standard internal ports
