CVE-2025-28987Network attack vector

Authenticated internal-service access via arbitrary outbound requests

Published Aug 14, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Server-side request forgery in PressForward 5.9.5 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to send requests to arbitrary URLs. Published advisories do not identify the affected request handler or disclose how an attacker-controlled destination reaches its outbound fetch. Subscriber-level access is sufficient; the resulting server-originated requests can query or modify data exposed by internal services.
