CVE-2023-5572: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in vriteio/vrite
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in GitHub repository vriteio/vrite prior to 0.3.0.
CVSS 10.0 Critical EPSS 1.0% · p63
Should you act?
Critical and remotely reachable
No known exploitation yet, but it is network-reachable without credentials. This signal is computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS data; it is not an editorial verdict.
- Not in CISA KEV, but CISA’s SSVC assessment records a public proof-of-concept, so attack code exists.
- EPSS 1.0%, percentile 63: FIRST’s model estimates a 1.0% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 63% of all scored CVEs (moderate). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes
@vrite/sdk(npm) < 0.3.0, fixed in 0.3.0. Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.
