• Impacted Versions: >= 11.0.3, < 12.6.6

• Issue Type: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) permitting domain bypass

• Endpoint in Question: /_image image optimization API (output: 'server', default imageService: 'compile')
  Attackers can exploit this to fetch any external URL via the origin server—regardless of image.domains or remotePatterns restrictions NVDmiggo.io.

---

Severity Metrics

• CVSS v3.1 Score: 7.2 (High) — Network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges required, scope change, yet both confidentiality and integrity impacted moderately NVDOpenCVEFeedly.

• CWE Classification: CWE-918 (Improper Restriction of Rendered URLs) NVDOpenCVE.

---

Technical Insights & PoC

• The GET handler at /_image previously accepted arbitrary href parameters and performed an unguarded fetch, enabling SSRF.

• Post-patch (v12.6.6), the adapter now enforces domain validation using functions like isRemoteAllowed against the configured whitelist miggo.io.

---

Risks & Consequences

• Server Misuse as HTTP Proxy: Fetch internal services or external malicious content.

• XSS Potential: If a crafted malicious asset is served under a trusted origin, it can bypass same-origin policies, leading to script-based attacks Daily CyberSecuritymiggo.io.

Published & Fixed Dates

• CVE Published: September 4, 2025 via GitHub security advisory FeedlyOpenCVE.

• Patch Available: Upgrade to @astrojs/cloudflare@12.6.6 or newer now suppresses the SSRF exploit.

3. If upgrading isn't immediate, disable image optimization entirely or restrict via your application/WAF layer.

Enhanced Defense Measures:

• Use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to intercept suspicious /_image?href= requests.

• Monitor outbound image-optimization calls for anomalous behavior.

• Audit third-party integrations using Astro in enterprise websites.
