CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedKoel versions prior to 9.7.1 are vulnerable to improper validation of outbound podcast and radio fetch paths, allowing authenticated users to exploit redirect vulnerabilities and access internal services or cloud metadata. This could lead to unauthorized information disclosure or manipulation of streamed content through attacker-controlled redirects. Organizations using Koel for music streaming should prioritize upgrading to version 9.7.1 to mitigate this high-severity risk.

Original NVD Description
Koel is a free, open-source music streaming solution. Prior to 9.7.1, outbound podcast and radio fetch paths perform a point-in-time App\Helpers\Network::isPublicHost() or isSafeUrl() check without pinning the validated address, and most paths lack redirect-hop validation and do not revalidate every redirect target. PhanAn\Poddle\Poddle::fromUrl(), PodcastService::getStreamableUrl(), PodcastService::isPodcastObsolete(), App\Rules\HasAudioContentType, and App\Rules\SafeUrl can therefore follow an attacker-controlled redirect to an internal address or connect after DNS rebinding changes a public resolution to a private one. These paths are reachable through podcast and radio APIs, including createPodcastChannel, createInternetRadioStation, refreshPodcasts, apiResource podcasts, and radio/stations, allowing an authenticated user to request internal services or cloud metadata and potentially receive parsed or streamed response content. This issue is fixed in version 9.7.1.
