Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Keyoti SearchUnit versions prior to 9.0.0.

Description The issue is related to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in the /Keyoti SearchEngine Web Common/SearchService.svc/GetResults and /Keyoti SearchEngine Web Common/SearchService.svc/GetLocationAndContentCategories API endpoints. An attacker can specify their own SMB server as the indexDirectory value when making POST requests to the affected components, allowing them to read and write configuration and log files from/to their server.

Recommendations For versions prior to 9.0.0., update to version 9.0.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the /Keyoti SearchEngine Web Common/SearchService.svc/GetResults and /Keyoti SearchEngine Web Common/SearchService.svc/GetLocationAndContentCategories API endpoints to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the indexDirectory value in the affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved.
