CVE-2026-73845

## Summary The `ckan_get_mqa_quality` and `ckan_get_mqa_quality_details` tools restrict their `server_url` argument to `dati.gov.it` via a regular expression. The regex is anchored only at the start and places no boundary after the host, so any URL whose host merely **begins with** `dati.gov.it` — or that uses `dati.gov.it` as URL *userinfo* before an `@` — passes validation while actually targeting an attacker-controlled host. ## Affected code ```js // src/tools/quality.ts const ALLOWED_SERVER_PATTERNS = [ /^https?:\/\/(www\.)?dati\.gov\.it/i // <-- no end anchor / host boundary ]; export function isValidMqaServer(serverUrl: string): boolean { return ALLOWED_SERVER_PATTERNS.some(pattern => pattern.test(serverUrl)); } ``` All of the following return `true`: | URL | Real host | |-----|-----------| | `https://dati.gov.it.attacker.com/x` | `dati.gov.it.attacker.com` (attacker) | | `http://dati.gov.it.evil.example/api` | `dati.gov.it.evil.example` (attacker) | | `https://dati.gov.it@attacker.com/x` | `attacker.com` (userinfo trick) | After passing this check, `server_url` flows into `getMqaQuality`/`getMqaQualityDetails`, which call `makeCkanRequest(serverUrl, "package_show", { id })`. The server therefore issues a request to the attacker-controlled host and returns its (parsed) response to the caller. ## Impact - The intended "dati.gov.it only" trust boundary for the MQA tools is defeated; they can be driven against arbitrary external hosts. - The attacker host receives the request (including the `dataset_id`) and controls the response body that is surfaced back to the model/user — enabling response spoofing and, in an agentic setting, indirect prompt-injection content delivered under the guise of a trusted-portal tool. - Contributes to SSRF surface: while `makeCkanRequest` blocks private/internal IPs, this bypass removes the domain restriction that the code intends to enforce for these tools. The `@`-userinfo variant is the most severe form because validation passes on a string whose *actual* host is fully attacker-chosen. ## Proof of concept `poc/mqa-allowlist-poc.mjs` runs the verbatim regex over benign and malicious URLs: ``` accepted expected_legit url true true https://dati.gov.it/opendata <- legit true false https://dati.gov.it.attacker.com/x <- BYPASS true false http://dati.gov.it.evil.example/api <- BYPASS true false https://dati.gov.it@attacker.com/x <- BYPASS ``` ## Remediation Validate the parsed host, not the raw string. For example: ```js function isValidMqaServer(serverUrl) { let u; try { u = new URL(serverUrl); } catch { return false; } if (u.protocol !== "https:") return false; const h = u.hostname.toLowerCase(); return h === "dati.gov.it" || h === "www.dati.gov.it"; // or: h === "dati.gov.it" || h.endsWith(".dati.gov.it") } ``` Anchoring the regex end-to-end (`/^https:\/\/(www\.)?dati\.gov\.it(\/|$)/i`) also closes the suffix trick, but URL-parsing + exact host comparison is the robust fix and also neutralizes the `@`-userinfo variant.
