A server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability has been identified in the gpt-researcher Node.js component, affecting versions 3.4.0 through 3.4.3. This flaw allows attackers to manipulate the source_urls argument within the ws Endpoint, potentially leading to unauthorized access to internal resources. The vulnerability was publicly disclosed on 2026-04-06 and the project maintainers have not yet responded. Mitigation strategies are crucial until a patch is released.
The SSRF vulnerability in gpt-researcher allows an attacker to craft malicious requests that the server will execute on their behalf. This can lead to several consequences, including unauthorized access to internal services, reading sensitive data from internal systems, and potentially even executing commands on the server if the underlying infrastructure is vulnerable. The ability to launch the attack remotely significantly increases the potential blast radius. Successful exploitation could expose internal network configurations, API keys, or other sensitive information not intended for external access. While the specific impact depends on the internal resources accessible via SSRF, the potential for data exfiltration and system compromise is significant.
This vulnerability was publicly disclosed on 2026-04-06 and a proof-of-concept may be available. The lack of response from the project maintainers suggests a potential for prolonged exposure. The vulnerability's SSRF nature aligns with common attack patterns, potentially increasing the likelihood of exploitation. The EPSS score is pending evaluation, but the public disclosure and ease of exploitation suggest a medium to high probability of exploitation.
Organizations using gpt-researcher in their Node.js applications, particularly those exposing the ws endpoint to external networks, are at risk. This includes developers integrating gpt-researcher into custom applications and those relying on it as a dependency in larger projects. The lack of response from the project maintainers increases the risk, as timely security updates are unlikely.

Given the lack of a direct patch from the gpt-researcher project, immediate mitigation is essential. Implement strict input validation on the source_urls parameter to prevent manipulation. A Web Application Firewall (WAF) can be configured to block requests containing suspicious URLs or patterns indicative of SSRF attacks. Consider using a proxy server to filter outbound requests and restrict access to internal resources. Network segmentation can limit the potential impact of a successful SSRF attack by isolating sensitive internal systems. Regularly review and update firewall rules to block known malicious IPs and domains. After implementing these mitigations, verify their effectiveness by attempting to trigger the SSRF vulnerability with controlled inputs.
