Summary
Psono Server CE and EE from 0.1.0 before 7.2.4 accept a user-controlled host when configuring a personal Duo device and pass it to the Duo client without an allowlist or explicit timeout. An authenticated remote attacker can make the server connect to chosen hosts over HTTPS on port 443 and tell failure modes apart, which exposes internal DNS and service reachability. Connections still require TLS certificate validation, and unresponsive targets can hold a server worker until the operating system timeout. This is classified as Server-Side Request Forgery (CWE-918).

Description from the CNA
Psono Server CE && EE versions 0.1.0 through 7.2.3 accepted a user-controlled host when configuring a personal Duo device and passed it to the Duo client without an allowlist or explicit timeout. An authenticated remote attacker could cause the server to connect to selected hosts over HTTPS on port 443 and distinguish failure modes, providing an internal DNS and service-reachability oracle. Connections still required TLS certificate validation, and the flaw did not provide arbitrary protocol or port access. Unresponsive targets could also occupy a server worker until the operating-system timeout.
