CVE-2024-53275Public exploit

Photo disclosure via unauthenticated DNS rebinding

Published Dec 23, 2024 · Updated Feb 18, 2025

DNS rebinding in Xemle HomeGallery 1.15.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to read private photos from intranet-hosted galleries. The default HTTP server does not reject an attacker-controlled hostname after its DNS address changes to the gallery's internal address, and the unauthenticated server returns gallery pages and images to the attacker's browser context. Exploitation requires a user on the gallery's intranet to visit the attacker-controlled site; the demonstrated impact is photo disclosure, not modification or service interruption.
