A server-side request forgery (SSRF) was discovered in the Akana API Platform in versions prior to and including 2022.1.3. Reported by Jakob Antonsson.

An unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Policy Manager console of Akana API Platform. A path normalization discrepancy between the authentication filter and the servlet dispatcher allows a crafted request to bypass authentication and reach an endpoint that evaluates attacker-supplied script code without sandboxing, resulting in arbitrary code execution. Exploitation requires no authentication or user interaction.
