EchelonGraph scoreMEDIUM confidence

This medium-severity CVE scores 6.3 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.2%, top 94% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).

Lemur manages TLS certificate creation. Prior to 1.9.2, lemur/certificates/verify.py accepted CRL Distribution Point and OCSP responder URLs from uploaded certificate extensions and used them in crl_verify and ocsp_verify without adequate destination validation. An authenticated operator could submit a certificate through POST /api/1/certificates/upload and cause verify_string to reach loopback, RFC1918, link-local, or instance-metadata destinations such as 169.254.169.254. The requests could probe internal services and create side effects from the Lemur host network position. The CRL path also used an unbounded cache, allowing attacker-controlled entries to persist and consume memory. The fix validates destinations, supports explicit trusted-host allowlists, and bounds the CRL cache. This issue is fixed in version 1.9.2.
