GHSA-87pf-7x99-5xc4: Silverstripe Hostname, IP and Protocol Spoofing through HTTP Headers

In it's default configuration, SilverStripe trusts all originating IPs to include HTTP headers for Hostname, IP and Protocol. This enables reverse proxies to forward requests while still retaining the original request information. Trusted IPs can be limited via the SS_TRUSTED_PROXY_IPS constant. Even with this restriction in place, SilverStripe trusts a variety of HTTP headers due to different proxy notations (e.g. X-Forwarded-For vs. Client-IP). Unless a proxy explicitly unsets invalid HTTP headers from connecting clients, this can lead to spoofing requests being passed through trusted proxies. The impact of spoofed headers can include Director::forceSSL() not being enforced, SS_HTTPRequest->getIP() returning a wrong IP (disabling any IP restrictions), and spoofed hostnames circumventing any hostname-specific restrictions enforced in SilverStripe Controllers. Regardless on running a reverse proxy in your hosting infrastructure, please follow the instructions on Secure Coding: Reques...

GHSA-vp8p-c6xj-xpj7: Silverstripe External redirection risk in Security?ReturnURL

A vulnerability has been found in the SilverStripe framework where a login url can be potentially redirected to an external site. For example, the url http://www.my-silverstripe-site.com/Security/login?BackURL=/\attacker-site.com will redirect successful logins to the page http://attacker-site.com. If that website were set up to look identical to the first with "login failed" then the user will likely just enter their user/pass again.
