Atomicorp WAF Research Note: CVE-2017-9413

Subsonic 6.1.1 - Server-Side Request Forgery

Research Notes

This page documents research related to exploit techniques, attack behaviors, testing results, and WAF rule interactions associated with this vulnerability.

Research finding: this note documents observed WAF protections relevant to exploit techniques associated with this vulnerability.

These notes are not intended to represent the full set of vulnerabilities mitigated by Atomicorp products and should not be interpreted as a coverage matrix, certification list, or census of protected CVEs.

Atomicorp WAF protections are primarily designed around attack techniques and exploit behaviors rather than individual vulnerability identifiers. A published research note documents a positive research finding related to that CVE. If a CVE is absent from these notes, no conclusion should be drawn about protection status.

Vulnerability Description

Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in the Podcast feature in Subsonic 6.1.1 allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of users for requests that (1) subscribe to a podcast via the add parameter to podcastReceiverAdmin.view or (2) update Internet Radio Settings via the urlRedirectCustomUrl parameter to networkSettings.view. NOTE: These vulnerabilities can be exploited to conduct server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks.

Research Note Context

This research note documents exploit-technique analysis associated with this vulnerability and references Atomicorp WAF protections observed during engineering review, testing, or validation activities.

Atomicorp security controls are generally designed to identify and mitigate attack techniques and exploit behaviors rather than individual CVE identifiers. As a result, protections developed for one vulnerability may also apply to related attack variants and future vulnerabilities using similar techniques.
