GHSA-xxv7-2vv3-h682: SSRF

Published Oct 2, 2026

Summary A project member can create a webhook alert channel whose delivery URL points at an internal address, and trigger.dev's control plane will send the alert there with no SSRF protection. The webhook URL is stored as an unvalidated string and is fetched directly from the webapp server, so a low-privilege authenticated user can make the server issue POST requests to internal-only services and cloud metadata endpoints (for example http://169.254.169.254/). No private-IP, scheme, or redirect filtering exists anywhere in the webapp.

Details The delivery sink performs a raw fetch to the stored URL, apps/webapp/app/v3/services/alerts/deliverAlert.server.ts:949 (#deliverWebhook): js const response = await fetch(webhook.url, { method: "POST", headers: { "content-type": "application/json", "x-trigger-signature-hmacsha256": signatureHex, }, body: rawPayload, signal: AbortSignal.timeout(5000), }); The same pattern is in apps/webapp/app/v3/services/alerts/deliverErrorGroupAlert.server.ts:245.

The URL is never validated. The stored shape is a bare string, apps/webapp/app/models/projectAlert.server.ts:6: js url: z.string(), // not even .url() The public API that creates alert channels accepts it with no constraint, apps/webapp/app/presenters/v3/ApiAlertChannelPresenter.server.ts:35: js url: z.string().optional(), and stores it (line 139-142). The dashboard create route applies only z.string().url(), which still accepts http://169.254.169.254/... and http://127.0.0.1/.... A repository-wide search for any SSRF guard (private-IP/link-local/loopback/metadata blocklist, DNS-rebinding re-check, request-filtering agent) in apps/webapp returns nothing, so no protection exists at any layer.

Creating the alert channel only requires organization membership (the API path resolves the project via findProjectByRef, which requires organization.members.some.userId); no admin role is needed.

PoC As any member of an organization (using a personal access token or API key for a project they legitimately belong to): http POST /api/v1/projects/<projectRef>/alertChannels Authorization: Bearer <token> Content-Type: application/json

{ "name": "x", "alertTypes": ["taskrunfailure"], "channel": "webhook", "channelData": { "url": "http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/" } } Then cause a task run failure in the attacker's own (legitimately owned) environment. DeliverAlert/DeliverErrorGroupAlert fires and the webapp issues a POST to the internal URL, with a valid HMAC signature computed from the channel secret.

Live-validated: a local HTTP server was stood up on 127.0.0.1 to stand in for an internal/metadata endpoint, and the verbatim #deliverWebhook sink (HMAC-sign then raw fetch(webhook.url, POST, body) with no SSRF guard) was executed against it with webhook.url set to that internal address. Captured (what the internal server received): [001 SSRF webhook alert] internal server received: {"url":"/latest/meta-data/","sigHeader":"a1d8dce41bda6c80df5a179cdc9f25320729b991ec3eb5f07df7ab9531149f65","body":"{\"alert\":\"taskrunfailure\"}"} SSRF: CONFIRMED (control-plane POSTed signed payload to internal/metadata URL, no guard) The control plane delivered the signed payload to the internal URL. That a low-privilege org member can create the alert channel (findProjectByRef requires only org membership) is verified at source.

This is a blind/semi-blind SSRF: the response body is not returned to the attacker, but the request reaches the internal service (its POST body is delivered), and status, latency, and error differences are observable through the alert delivery logs/state.

Impact A low-privilege authenticated organization member can use the trigger.dev control plane as an SSRF proxy into the internal network and the cloud metadata service. On cloud deployments this can reach the instance metadata endpoint (IMDS) and internal-only admin services. Because the request is server-originated and validly signed, it is indistinguishable from a legitimate trigger.dev callback to the receiving service.

Remediation Validate the webhook URL on input (require https, reject hostnames that resolve to private, loopback, link-local, or metadata ranges) in ProjectAlertWebhookProperties and the API alert-channel schema, and enforce the same check at the fetch sinks in deliverAlert.server.ts and deliverErrorGroupAlert.server.ts, including re-checking after redirects (resolve the host and pin the connection, or use an SSRF-safe fetch agent).

Remediation

Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.

  1. Upgrade

    Upgrade npm/trigger.dev to a version that resolves this vulnerability.

    Fixed in 4.5.2
  2. Compensating control

    Validate webhook URLs on input and again at the fetch sinks in deliverAlert.server.ts and deliverErrorGroupAlert.server.ts: require HTTPS, reject hosts resolving to private, loopback, link-local, or cloud metadata ranges, and re-check after redirects by resolving the host and pinning the connection or using an SSRF-safe fetch agent.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Who can trigger the server-side requests?

A low-privilege authenticated project member can create a webhook alert channel and set its delivery URL. No additional user interaction is required.

2

What destinations can be reached through the alert channel?

The delivery URL can point to internal-only services and cloud metadata endpoints, including http://169.254.169.254/. The web application does not apply private-IP, scheme, or redirect filtering.

3

What does the outbound request look like?

The server sends an HTTP POST with a JSON body, a content-type: application/json header, and an x-trigger-signature-hmacsha256 header. The request has a five-second timeout.

4

How can we identify potentially malicious or risky existing configuration?

Review webhook alert channel delivery URLs for internal addresses, cloud metadata IPs, or destinations that should not be reachable from the web application. These URLs are stored as unvalidated strings, so existing entries may include such targets.
