CVE-2024-41668 Information

Description

The cBioPortal for Cancer Genomics provides visualization analysis and download of large-scale cancer genomics data sets. When running a publicly exposed proxy endpoint without authentication cBioPortal could allow someone to perform a Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attack. Logged in users could do the same on private instances. A fix has been released in version 6.0.12. As a workaround one might be able to disable /proxy endpoint entirely via for example nginx.
