Summary

Firecrawl versions prior to 1.1.1 contain a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the scraping engine. A malicious site that redirects to a local IP address could be used to exfiltrate local network resources through the API.

Mitigation

Fixed in v1.1.1 for the open-source version, and the cloud service was patched on December 27th, 2024. The playwright services are un-patchable per the maintainers, so as a workaround supply them with a secure proxy via the `PROXY_SERVER` environment variable, set up to block all traffic to link-local IP addresses.
