DescriptionCVE.org

A server-side request forgery vulnerability in Friendica through the 2026.08-dev branch allows authenticated users with a free self-registered account to probe internal network services via the link-preview endpoint. The endpoint fetches any user-supplied URL without applying an internal IP deny list. An attacker can use this to scan the internal network or access cloud metadata services.

AnalysisAI

Server-side request forgery in Friendica through the 2026.08-dev branch exposes internal network infrastructure to any authenticated user, including those with a free self-registered account. The link-preview endpoint fetches attacker-supplied URLs without enforcing an internal IP deny list, enabling enumeration of internal services and access to cloud instance metadata endpoints such as the AWS IMDSv1 endpoint at 169.254.169.254. …
