Problem

GitSourceManager._parse_source() passes the user-supplied source.location value
directly to git.Repo.clone_from(url=...) without validating the URL scheme. This
allows SSRF attacks via non-HTTPS schemes:

  • http://169.254.169.254/ — cloud IMDS credential theft (AWS, GCP, Azure)
  • file:///etc/ — local filesystem access as git repository
  • git://internal-host/ — internal git server access
  • ssh://user@internal/ — internal SSH service probing

Example attack:

source:
  type: git
  location: "http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/"

Fix

Add scheme validation in _parse_source() using urllib.parse.urlparse. Only https://
and http:// are allowed. Schemes like file://, git://, and ssh:// raise ValueError
before any network request is made.

http:// is included to support legitimate internal/corporate git servers that use plain HTTP.

Test Plan

  • Existing tests pass (all test fixtures use https:// URLs)
  • New test: file:///etc raises ValueError
  • New test: git://internal/repo raises ValueError
  • New test: https://github.com/valid/repo.git passes
  • New test: http://internal-git/repo.git passes

Security Note

CVSS 3.1: AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N = 8.5 (High)

This fix is independent of API authentication — it restricts what git URLs any caller
(authenticated or not) can supply to the deployment system.

…t SSRF

Add scheme allowlist (https, http) in GitSourceManager._parse_source().
Non-HTTP/HTTPS schemes (file://, git://, ssh://) are now rejected with
a ValueError before any network request is made.

This prevents SSRF via cloud IMDS endpoints (http://169.254.169.254/),
local filesystem access (file:///etc/), and internal git servers using
non-standard protocols.
