Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-918 and the CVSS impact.
Summary
InvoiceShelf versions before 2.4.0 are affected. The PDF configuration checks the Gotenberg host setting only for valid URL syntax, so PDF rendering can be sent to private, loopback, link-local or reserved addresses (CWE-918). A user with high privileges, such as an account owner, can use PDF generation to reach internal services or cloud metadata endpoints, and a configured external host receives customer and invoice data from later renders.

Description from the CNA
InvoiceShelf is an open-source web & mobile app that helps track expenses, payments and create professional invoices and estimates. Prior to version 2.4.0, InvoiceShelf's PDFConfigurationRequest.php validates the owner-controlled gotenberg_host setting only as a syntactically valid URL. GotenbergPDFDriver::loadView later sends a multipart HTTP request containing rendered invoice, estimate, or payment HTML as document.html to that host without rejecting private, loopback, link-local, or reserved addresses. An owner can use PDF generation to reach internal services or cloud metadata endpoints, and a configured external host receives customer names, addresses, line items, totals, and company identifiers from subsequent PDF renders. This issue is fixed in version 2.4.0.
