Official Description
MaxKB is an open-source AI assistant for enterprise. MaxKB 2.8.0 and prior are vulnerable to a server-side request forgery (SSRF) bypass in the OSS file service URL fetch functionality due to inconsistent DNS resolution between validation and actual request execution, allowing attackers to access internal network services. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.8.1.
