Vulnerability Details
Description: I have discovered that the http://172.105.190.180/login/ site exposed it's IP which could allow bypassing of anti-DDoS mechanisms i.e you are using Cloudflare for protection. For Originate IP address which I found from https://search.censys.io/ By using these IP address as a resolver instead of the intended addresses I'm able to access the service without going through the WAF, thus I'm able to forward unfiltered payloads to the service, as well as avoiding the common protections offered by Cloudflare, also being able to perform crippling denial-of-service towards the origin. Suggestion: My recommendations fall in line with Cloudflare's own guidelines: the Origin server must communicate exclusively with Cloudflare's IP address ranges, otherwise--as reported in this post on Cloudflare's blog, the protection offered by having a reverse proxy basically becomes useless. IP 1 172.105.190.180 2 139.162.232.147 Files Attached ## Impact As reported in many other submissions, Cloudflare bypasses can have a significant impact, as any adversary is now able to communicate with the origin server directly, enabling them to perform unfiltered attacks (such as denial-of-service), and data retrieval
