Overview

lemur is a Certificate management and orchestration service

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF) via the ACME client following server-controlled URLs in acme_handlers.py. A malicious or compromised ACME server can embed arbitrary internal URLs in its directory, order, authorization, or finalize responses, causing Lemur to issue outbound HTTP requests to those attacker-controlled destinations. Additionally, the acme_url field was not re-validated against ACME_DIRECTORY_HOST_ALLOWLIST on authority update (update) or update_options, allowing an authenticated user with authority-edit privileges to bypass the allowlist and point the ACME client at an arbitrary host.
