Summary
Mitmweb API Authentication Bypass Using Proxy Server
Details

Impact

In mitmweb 11.1.0 and below, a malicious client can use mitmweb's proxy server (bound to *:8080 by default) to access mitmweb's internal API (bound to 127.0.0.1:8081 by default). In other words, while the client cannot access the API directly (good), they can access the API through the proxy (bad). An attacker may be able to escalate this SSRF-style access to remote code execution.

The mitmproxy and mitmdump tools are unaffected. Only mitmweb is affected. The block_global option, which is enabled by default, blocks connections originating from publicly-routable IP addresses in the proxy. The attacker needs to be in the same local network.

Patches

The vulnerability has been fixed in mitmproxy 11.1.2 and above.
