An SSRF vulnerability was found in an API from Ctrip Apollo through 1.4.0-SNAPSHOT. An attacker may use it to do an intranet port scan or raise a GET request via /system-info/health because the %23 substring is mishandled.

apollo-adminservice before version 1.7.1 does not implement access controls. If users expose apollo-adminservice to internet(which is not recommended), there are potential security issues since apollo-adminservice is designed to work in intranet and it doesn't have access control built-in. Malicious hackers may access apollo-adminservice apis directly to access/edit the application's configurations. To fix the potential issue without upgrading, simply follow the advice that do not expose apollo-adminservice to internet.
