Prior to 2.1, the bundled Caddy reverse-proxy's admin API — which has no authentication by default — is bound on 0.0.0.0:2019 inside the container. While this listener is not directly published to the host by docker-compose.yml, it is reachable from the Appsmith server process itself or a SSRF vulnerability. An authenticated low-privileged user can therefore drive the SSRF to issue POST /load (or any other admin-API call) against http://0.0.0.0:2019/, fully replacing the live Caddy configuration and taking over the reverse proxy. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.1." } ], "source": { "advisory": "GHSA-8jvv-gwqg-6vjc", "discovery": "UNKNOWN" } }, "adp": [ { "references": [ { "url": "https://github.com/appsmithorg/appsmith/security/advisories/GHSA-8jvv-gwqg-6vjc", "tags": [ "exploit" ] } ], "metrics": [ { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "timestamp": "2026-06-25T15:11:31.039499Z", "id": "CVE-2026-55454", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "poc" }, { "Automatable": "no" }, { "Technical Impact": "total" } ], "role": "CISA Coordinator", "version": "2.0.3" } } } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2026-06-25T15:11:50.769Z" } } ] } }
