🔴 IDOR in invoice download endpoint

Severity: HIGH · CWE-639

The GET /api/invoices/:id/pdf handler fetches the invoice by id from the global scope without scoping it to req.org. Any authenticated user can download invoices belonging to other organizations.

Suggested change

47 const inv = await Invoice.findById(id);

47 const inv = await Invoice.findOne({

48 _id: id, org: req.org._id });

SSRF via URL Parameter in /api/proxy

OpenHigh · 8.6CWE-918

TL;DR

The /api/proxy endpoint accepts a user-supplied URL without validation. An attacker can access internal services, read cloud metadata, and exfiltrate credentials.

Impact

Access to cloud metadata at 169.254.169.254, potential credential theft, and internal network scanning.

Discover & Validate

Pentests your entire attack surface continuously. Reproduces each finding, confirms exploitability with proof, and prioritizes by real impact.

FixReproduction

How do I fix it?

Validate and restrict the target URL using an allowlist of permitted hostnames. Reject private/internal IP ranges and enforce HTTPS-only.

proxy-handler.ts:23-29Copy

2323 const targetUrl = req.query.url;

24 const resp = await fetch(targetUrl);

24 const parsed = new URL(targetUrl);

25 if (!ALLOWED_HOSTS.has(parsed.hostname)) {

26 throw new ForbiddenError("blocked");

27 }

28 const resp = await fetch(parsed.href);

2529 return res.json(await resp.json());

Auto-Fix

Generates a fix, retests to confirm the vulnerability is gone, and delivers a merge-ready PR. Review, merge, done.

Deploy with confidence

Ensure nothing vulnerable reaches production. Every vulnerability discovered, validated, and resolved before it reaches production.

Every PR reviewed

Catches vulnerabilities at the source. Every pull request is reviewed before it can be merged.

Blocks vulnerable deploys

Plugs into your CI/CD pipeline. Vulnerable code never reaches production.

Monitors your attack surface

New CVEs tested against your systems. Latest threats flagged instantly.

Runtime validation

Each finding ships with a PoC and reproduction steps. Proven against your live environment.

Context-aware pentesting

Knows your stack, architecture, and business logic. Tests tailored to your environment.

Continuous learning

Learns from past findings and how you fixed them. Every pentest builds on the last.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about autonomous security testing with Strix.

Strix is an autonomous security platform. AI agents test your code, APIs, web apps, and cloud infrastructure the way a real attacker would — running the software dynamically to find, exploit, and validate vulnerabilities, then delivering findings with working proofs-of-concept and merge-ready fix PRs.

Traditional SAST/DAST tools pattern-match and flood you with unvalidated alerts. Strix agents actually exploit each issue to confirm it is real, so every finding ships with a working proof-of-concept instead of a false positive. This validation step is what cuts triage noise and lets teams trust the results.

Yes. The open-source Strix agent is on GitHub at github.com/usestrix/strix and can be installed with a single command. The hosted platform at app.strix.ai adds continuous scanning, integrations, and team features on top of the same engine.

Web applications, REST and GraphQL APIs, source code and pull requests, and cloud and infrastructure configurations. It covers the OWASP Top 10 and beyond — including access control (IDOR, privilege escalation), injection (SQL, command, SSTI), SSRF, XSS, authentication and business-logic flaws.

Yes. For confirmed findings Strix generates remediation and can open merge-ready pull requests with the fix, so you can review and ship the patch directly from your workflow.

Yes. Strix runs headlessly and integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and any CI pipeline to scan every pull request with diff-scoped testing, blocking insecure code before it reaches production. It also integrates with Slack, Jira, and Linear.
