Impact

The DomainFilteringAdapter in the Embed extension is vulnerable to an allowlist bypass due to a missing hostname boundary assertion in the domain-matching regex. An attacker-controlled domain like youtube.com.evil passes the allowlist check when youtube.com is an allowed domain.

This enables two attack vectors:

• SSRF: The OscaroteroEmbedAdapter makes server-side HTTP requests to the embed URL via the embed/embed library. A bypassed domain filter causes the server to make outbound requests to an attacker-controlled host, potentially probing internal services or exfiltrating request metadata.
• XSS: EmbedRenderer outputs the oEmbed response HTML directly into the page with no sanitization. An attacker controlling the bypassed domain can return arbitrary HTML/JavaScript in their oEmbed response, which is rendered verbatim.

Any application using the Embed extension and relying on allowed_domains to restrict domains when processing untrusted Markdown input is affected.

Patches

This has been patched in version 2.8.2. The fix replaces the regex-based domain check with explicit hostname parsing using parse_url(), ensuring exact domain and subdomain matching only.

Workarounds

• Disable the Embed extension, or restrict its use to trusted users
• Provide your own domain-filtering implementation of EmbedAdapterInterface
• Enable a Content Security Policy (CSP) and outbound firewall restrictions
