Adminer 6.0.0-6.0.1 with the ClickHouse driver plugin allows unauthenticated users to trigger server-side requests to arbitrary internal hos
Overview
Adminer 6.0.0-6.0.1 with the ClickHouse driver plugin allows unauthenticated users to trigger server-side requests to arbitrary internal hosts. The response from those hosts is displayed on the login page, exposing internal details. This can be used for internal reconnaissance and data leakage.
Description
Adminer 6.0.0 through 6.0.1, when the official ClickHouse driver plugin (plugins/drivers/clickhouse.php, rewritten in 6.0.0) is loaded, is vulnerable to pre-authentication server-side request forgery. An unauthenticated attacker can submit auth[driver]=clickhouse with auth[server] set to an arbitrary URL (for example http://127.0.0.1:18089), causing the Adminer server to issue an HTTP POST containing 'SELECT version()' to that host. In rootQuery(), if the target returns a status outside 200-299 (other than 401/403), the raw HTTP response body is assigned to the connection error and rendered on the login page, so the attacker receives the full response body of the internal service. This enables internal network/port reconnaissance and disclosure of sensitive information contained in internal error pages (stack traces, internal hostnames, file paths, configuration identifiers). Fixed in Adminer 6.0.2.
Impact
Confidentiality: internal host info exposed. Integrity: potential manipulation of internal services via crafted requests. Availability: minimal direct impact but could aid further attacks. Defenders: system administrators and security teams managing Adminer installations.
Remediation
Upgrade to Adminer 6.0.2 or later. Disable or remove the ClickHouse driver plugin if not needed. Restrict internal network access to ClickHouse endpoints and monitor for unexpected POST requests.
Risk context
Severity is high with CVSS v3 of 8.6. No EPSS data available. The vulnerability allows internal reconnaissance without authentication, making it a significant risk for environments where Adminer is exposed to untrusted networks.
