{"cve":"CVE-2024-22203","nvd":{"published":"2024-01-23T18:15:18.263","modified":"2026-06-17T07:10:55.997","status":"Modified","description":"Whoogle Search is a self-hosted metasearch engine. In versions prior to 0.8.4, the `element` method in `app/routes.py` does not validate the user-controlled `src_type` and `element_url` variables and passes them to the `send` method which sends a GET request on lines 339-343 in `request.py`, which leads to a server-side request forgery. This issue allows for crafting GET requests to internal and external resources on behalf of the server. For example, this issue would allow for accessing resources on the internal network that the server has access to, even though these resources may not be accessible on the internet. This issue is fixed in version 0.8.4.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":["CWE-918"],"references":["https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/blob/92e8ede24e9277a5440d403f75877209f1269884/app/request.py#L339-L343","https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/blob/92e8ede24e9277a5440d403f75877209f1269884/app/routes.py#L465-L490","https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/blob/92e8ede24e9277a5440d403f75877209f1269884/app/routes.py#L466","https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/blob/92e8ede24e9277a5440d403f75877209f1269884/app/routes.py#L476","https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/blob/92e8ede24e9277a5440d403f75877209f1269884/app/routes.py#L479"],"products":["benbusby:whoogle_search"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:44:57.175229480+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-22203","score":0.01011,"percentile":0.63171,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-q97g-c29h-x2p7","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-q97g-c29h-x2p7","summary":"Whoogle Search Path Traversal vulnerability","modified":"2024-03-14T20:56:54.190961Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"whoogle-search","purl":"pkg:pypi/whoogle-search","ranges":["<0.8.4"],"fixed":["0.8.4"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2024-20","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2024-20","summary":"","modified":"2026-06-10T17:02:50.987816068Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"whoogle-search","purl":"pkg:pypi/whoogle-search","ranges":["<0.8.4"],"fixed":["0.8.4"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
