Internal resource disclosure via favicon extraction SSRF
Published Sep 19, 2025 · Updated Sep 19, 2025
Server-side request forgery in the AliasVault API before 0.23.1 allows remote authenticated users to retrieve internal images. The favicon extractor fetches a user-supplied HTTP(S) URL, follows icon links and redirects without rejecting loopback or private destinations, and returns valid images as Base64. Exploitation requires a self-hosted, internet-reachable instance with public registration enabled; it exposes image data and permits internal-service mapping through timing and errors.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
