Exploitation Conditions

Exploitable when a Wormhole deployment (before 2026-08-22) exposes its coturn TURN server without restricting TCP relay peers - i.e. the TURN server permits TCP allocations/relays to arbitrary peer addresses rather than being limited to legitimate WebRTC peers. No authentication or user interaction is required (PR:N/UI:N), and it works against the affected default/misconfigured deployment. The main limiting factor is that impact depends on what the relay's network position can reach: the value of accessing 'instance metadata' is contingent on the relay running in a cloud environment that exposes a metadata service, and the connection-sourcing abuse is limited to TCP. Upgrading to the post-2026-08-22 build (which restricts relay peers) removes the condition.

Impact

This is a moderate-priority, not a top-tier, issue. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) confirms remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity reachability with no attack requirements, which is the main driver of the 6.9 (Medium) score. However, impact is bounded: VC:L/VI:L and VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N indicate only limited confidentiality and integrity effects on the vulnerable system and explicitly no subsequent-system (scope) impact in the vendor scoring - meaning the practical payoff is reading cloud instance metadata and relaying/spoofing the source of TCP connections rather than full compromise. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC were provided, so there is no evidence of active or widespread exploitation; the signals are consistent (medium severity, no exploitation evidence) rather than conflicting. One nuance worth verifying: SSRF (CWE-918) that reaches a cloud metadata endpoint can in practice escalate beyond the 'limited' impact the vendor assigned (e.g. harvesting IAM/credential metadata), so the VC:L rating may understate worst-case exposure depending on the hosting environment - confirm with the vendor what the TURN relay can actually reach. A patch is available from the vendor, which should be the primary remediation lever.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker connects to the Wormhole coturn TURN server and, because TCP relay peers are not restricted, requests the server relay connections to an internal or cloud-metadata address (e.g. the 169.254.169.254 instance-metadata endpoint). The relay fetches that resource on the attacker's behalf, returning instance metadata or letting the attacker originate arbitrary TCP connections that appear to come from the trusted Wormhole relay IP. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis, but SSRF against TURN misconfigurations is well-understood and straightforward to reproduce.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 01, 2026

Wormhole.app deployments built before 2026-08-22 ship with a misconfigured coturn TURN server that fails to restrict TCP relay peers, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to pivot through the relay to reach internal resources such as cloud instance metadata or to source TCP connections from the relay's own IP address. Because the TURN endpoint is reachable over the network with no credentials or user interaction required (CVSS:4.0 base 6.9; independently assessed as CVSS:3.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N), impact is bounded by what the relay host's network position can reach - meaningful information disclosure and limited integrity impact rather than full compromise. This is a moderate-priority issue: it is not in CISA KEV and no public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and the vendor has made a fixed build available.

RemediationAI

The primary fix is to upgrade to the Wormhole build released after 2026-08-22, which restores coturn TCP relay peer restrictions; the vendor advisory referenced through https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cisagov/CSAF/develop/csaf_files/IT/white/2026/va-26-275-04.json and the product page at https://wormhole.app/ should be consulted for the exact artifact, and patch availability is confirmed by the vendor (a precise fix version string is not published in the source data, so the date-based build boundary is the authoritative marker). Operators who cannot immediately upgrade should harden coturn directly: restrict relayable peer addresses with allowed-peer-ip/denied-peer-ip ACLs so allocations can only target legitimate WebRTC peers, and where feasible disable TCP relaying entirely (no-tcp-relay) so the SSRF and IP-sourcing primitives disappear - the trade-off is degraded connectivity for users behind firewalls that block UDP, who will then fail to establish relayed sessions. Independently of the relay fix, enforce cloud-side mitigations: require IMDSv2 (token-based) on AWS or equivalent hardened metadata access elsewhere, and block the relay host's egress to link-local metadata ranges (169.254.0.0/16, fd00:ec2::254) and to internal RFC1918 ranges, since a successful metadata fetch only has value when the deployment runs in a cloud environment exposing an unauthenticated metadata service; this egress filtering may break legitimate internal monitoring or service calls, so scope it to the relay process rather than the whole host. Finally, because the flaw allows connections to appear to originate from the relay's IP, any downstream system that trusts the Wormhole relay address for IP allowlisting (an IAM trust policy, a firewall rule, an application allowlist) should treat that address as untrusted and add application-layer authentication or client certificates instead.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The root cause is CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery). Wormhole.app is an end-to-end encrypted file-transfer service that relies on WebRTC for peer-to-peer transport and on a coturn TURN server to relay traffic when direct NAT traversal fails. TURN (Traversal Using Relays around NAT, RFC 8656) permits a client to request the server open a relay allocation to an arbitrary peer address; a correctly hardened coturn configuration constrains which peer addresses may be targeted (for example via allowed-peer-ip/denied-peer-ip and related ACLs) and typically disables or tightly scopes TCP relaying. In the affected deployments, TCP relay peers are not properly restricted, so an attacker who can reach the TURN service can coerce the relay into opening TCP connections toward addresses of the attacker's choosing. That yields two distinct primitives: SSRF-style reach into services only the relay host can see (most notably the cloud instance metadata endpoint at 169.254.169.254, where credentials or instance identity data may be exposed), and IP-source laundering, where traffic appears to originate from the relay's IP address and can therefore bypass IP-allowlist controls. The CVE's CPE entry (cpe:2.3:a:wormhole_app:wormhole:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) and ENISA EUVD record EUVD-2026-91032 both scope the flaw to Wormhole builds prior to 2026-08-22; exploitation depends on the relay's own network reachability, and the connection-sourcing abuse is limited to TCP.
